Length: Approx. 75 minutes

Shadow Day Program

While shadowing isn’t a required part of the application process, it's an excellent chance for your 8th, 9th, or 10th grader to experience what life at EHS is like! During their visit, students will attend classes, walk the hallways, hear from teachers, and get a sense of the school's social atmosphere by spending the day with a current student. Each shadow will be paired with a student ambassador from the grade they'll be entering, ensuring a match based on similar academic interests, co-curricular activities, or even middle school backgrounds. At EHS, we work hard to make all visitors feel welcome, and shadowing is a great way to immerse in our community! 

When: Scheduled most Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays between the last week of September and the first week of May.
Time: 7:40 a.m. -  3:30 p.m. (see extended schedule below)
