Ephrata Middle School -

We love hearing from our students! Our Student Engagement Facilitators' ongoing efforts to increase student voice, engagement, and belonging recently included group discussions to learn what is going well and what more can be done to help students feel successful now and in the future.

Meet a Mountaineer!

Join us at the Teacher Recruitment Job Fair!

Meet A Mountaineer

Christmas came a bit early for Camden and Izzy today, who are now "Mountaineer Official." 💜🐶💛

Board members also got to meet the newest members of the Mountaineer family, EIMS facility dogs Izzy & Camden.

Meet A Mountaineer!

The team at Ephrata Middle School is collaborating to create an epic mural for their school. We can't wait to see the finished product!

Let's get to know our Mountaineer staff! FIRST UP...

The December school board reorganization meeting included District Justice Tony Russell administering the Oath of Office to newly elected and reelected officers. We welcome Jason Breckbill and thank all board members for their service to our students, staff and community.

Celebrating Public Education: Several students in 8th grade each gave a short presentation in the format of inspirational TedTalks. Students chose the topics of limited screen time to experience the outdoors, integrity, and trust. Each communicated their concepts and thoughts very confidently. Well done, Mountaineers! School Board Resolutions included the state athletic achievements of cross country and girls’ volleyball, as well as the service of retiring Board member, Dr. Nancy Aronson.

THANK YOU! 💜💛

The 7th grade Cornerstone kicked off with a water conservation presentation & stream study for students to obtain info to ultimately develop their own hypothetical, yet thriving civilization. Thanks to The ELA Group, Schlouch Incorporated, Lancaster Conservancy, Lancaster County STEM Alliance, and more for helping to make this possible! #EASDLifeReady #MountsPride
