Previous Announcements: * We have a published author on our campus! Trevin Brandt worked hard for two years to complete an idea of his. His perseverance and talent have been rewarded! On December 12th, 2020, SubAprin was finally released on Amazon as an eBook for $2.99 and paperback for $7.99. Never in a million years did I think I could do something this big and meaningful with my life. For anyone who experiences tremendous self-doubt, I encourage you to persevere with something you enjoy. Set a goal and don't trip over the doubt that comes with it. Once you accomplish something bigger than yourself, the self-doubt that presides in your day to day life will begin to wither away. * Attention EDHS Students: If you are interested in being in the Yearbook class for the 2021-22 school year, the application is now available.
