Fall Family Weekend
October 23-24, 2026

Fall and Spring Family Weekends are designed to give EHS parents and guardians the opportunity to see their students compete and perform, and to meet with faculty members, hear from Grade Deans and outside speakers, and connect with fellow EHS families.

Please remember that pets, including hypoallergenic breeds, are not allowed in any buildings and must be leashed at all times. We do have individuals on campus with severe allergies and some who are very frightened of dogs in particular. We appreciate your support of this important campus protocol.
