Though the building is a little older than other schools, it is still extraordinarily functional, and more than fun to explore:) Over all I am proud to be a knight

My son has attended EHS for the past 3 years, he will be a senior this upcoming 2009-2010 school year. I believe that Elkins has the right progamming in place for its students to be prepared for higher learning and beyond. However, I believe that only a small percentage of the students are actually

He's done 'OK', but if he had really taken advantage of all that EHS has to offer, he would have created a lot more post-high school options for himself.

I cannot say enough good things about how the situation was handled. The administrators and medical personel were summoned and took care of him until help arrived. The administrators were in constant contact with me the entire time. Everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and genuine care for my child. This is an outstanding school with excellent staff and administration. Read less

My experience as a parent is that it promotes academic rigor, and an environment that communicates 'we're the best at what we do'. If your child is a 'discipline problem', please talk to him/her before enrolling them. Administrators and teachers are very 'by the book' when it comes to discipline and
