For the record, I am a teacher at EHMS, but before I am anything...I am a parent and through a parent s eye, I see that this middle school is full of teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, and custodians that truly love kids. Within the school day we are everywhere. We have multiple duties that

The teachers I know work every single day with all their hearts to insure that the students are educated and well taken care. EHMS has amazing teachers that are professional and dedicated; however, like almost every aspect of life, there is often a pessimistic party that will always see the glass half empty. But even the disgruntled teacher at Eastern Hills Middle School still loves his/her students. Read less

This school is by far the worst I have ever seen. The administration is so worried about saving their own behinds, they make constant changes and belittle and berate the staff. The students are the ones to suffer. Beware of this school! Send your kids elsewhere.
