A great school begins w/solid leadership; and that is exactly what EES has sustained through it's beginning. The principal is knowledgeable concerning the academic curriculum, which she balances with her knowledge of child dev. She understands the importance of holding a good faculty and staff together,

Safety first is a must @ this school and parental involvement is welcomed. W/O parental support children would not realize the importance of a good education. I personally embrace the learning environment at EES. I have learned much from this principal. I am disappointed that she chose retirement. However, I believe that the EES tradition will continue because of the strong leadership that has been in place over the pass 7 yrs. Read less

Any situations that warranted discussion are always met with 'that's our policy'. The human factor seldom if ever comes into play. The teachers are more than capable and pleasant and are eager to teach the children so dealing with the teachers one on one has proven to be the most rewarding experience. The key issue here is education, one would have to ask is this administration creating a harmonious relationship conducive to learning. Read less
