Ready to help?

Thank you for considering volunteering at EPHS!  There are various opportunities for parents and community members to be involved.  Any amount of time you can give is appreciated!   If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please contact us at president@ephspto.org.

Senior Party

After graduation each year, graduates get to celebrate their success at the awesome Senior Party. It takes a whole village of volunteers to pull off this huge event. The EPHS Senior Party Committee is looking for volunteers to chair committees for the 2024 and 2025 parties. Underclassmen parents chair committees now so they can focus on their own child during their senior year. Check out openings at http://epseniorparty.org/volunteer-chairs/
