Lady Railer VB fought hard in Plainville against Smith Center (25-20, 20-25, & 10-25) & Hoxie (25-20, 20-25, & 16-25), took both to 3 sets, but were unable to get the wins. They beat Plainville in 2, 27-25 & 25-16! Next up is the Railer Tournament this Saturday at 8:30 am. 🧡🏐🖤

The 2025-26 Railroader Yearbook is now available for purchase! We are excited to announce a back-to-school sale price of $45, which is $20 less than the regular price of $65, effective after October 24, 2025. This is the perfect time to order!
The EHS Journalism team dedicates a significant amount of hard work each year to creating this memorable publication. This year marks the third time that the Railroader Yearbook will include grades 7-12, showcasing pictures and memories from both high school and junior high.
We rely on the generosity of our students' families to fund the yearbook, making it possible to continue this valuable tradition. Your purchase is crucial for supporting this publication and maintaining its importance within our schools. In an age dominated by online photos and social media, the significance of a physical yearbook cannot be overlooked. Ensure your memories last a lifetime—purchase your Railroader Yearbook today!
Students who buy a yearbook will be invited to the "Signing Celebration" at the start of the school year, where they can sign each other's yearbooks, revitalizing a cherished tradition.
Jostens will be reaching out to parents via email soon with order information. A flyer can be found online:
