2022-2023 Student Handbook https://5il.co/1hdjp

Good Morning Class of 2023 students and families, I am so excited and looking forward to the class of 2023 leading EWG High School next year! They have been very impressive since the day they entered high school and I know they will continue to be. One of the first official acts of being seniors is to get your senior portrait taken for the yearbook over the summer. I am thrilled to announce we have a new official photographer that will be working with you this year! We have contracted with Catherine Hellman studios for our senior portraits, the Prom, homecoming dances and our graduation next June 10 at the Ryan Center. The studio will begin by providing us with 136 available sessions. You will receive an email with how to book your session so please look for it and do so as quickly as you can so you do not miss having your portrait included in the 2023 Senior section of the yearbook. I am including the contact information for the studio for your reference. You will be getting it in their email to you but having extra information will not hurt. The information that follows will also come directly from the studio too. You will have three different session options you may choose from: 1.

Spring is here! The horticulture students have been working hard learning to grow and manage the greenhouse. In a few weeks the greenhouse will be in full bloom.

Some of our FFA students from floriculture and horticulture competed in the Floriculture contest at Carbones. They had to take a plant id test, equipment test, team floral display as well as an on site individual arrangement challenge. Our students had fun and we all learned a lot and are excited for next year’s competition!
