Community is an action! Today, Victor Whitlock from VDW Logistics stopped by our Erie High United Way of Erie County community school room to donate bookbags and school supplies for our Erie High students!

We are thankful for Victor and his passion to give back to our Royals!

You can make a difference.

This September, during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Erie's Public Schools is reminding our whole community: a mental health crisis deserves the same response as any other emergency. You don't need to be a therapist — you just need to notice, reach out, and get help.

A.C.T. if you're worried about someone:

Ask — Start the conversation. Be direct, and listen without judgment.
Care — Show you care. Stay close and keep them connected.
Tell — Bring in a trusted adult or trained professional.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is always available: 📞 Call or text 988 — free, confidential, 24/7 📱 Safe2Say Something: 1-844-SAF2SAY ☎️ Erie Crisis Line: 814-456-2014 🏫 Talk to a school counselor, mental health specialist, or any trusted staff member

In immediate danger? Call 911.

Every student, every day. We're in this together. #SuicidePreventionMonth #EriesPublicSchools

Can you believe that September will be here tomorrow?

EPS families,

Throughout the year, a number of school events, programs, and classroom lessons take place that are of interest to both school district media (cable channel, website, school newsletters, etc.) and regional print and broadcast media (newspapers, television, radio, etc.) During these activities, students and staff may be photographed or interviewed to increase public awareness of our school and/or individual student accomplishments. If you DO NOT want your children to be photographed, videotaped or interviewed, please complete and return the 2026-2027 Media Opt-Out Form available at your child’s school.

You can also find and print the form, available in English and other languages, at https://www.eriesd.org/page/optout

Than k you!

HOT OFF THE PRESSES: Our Family Information Guide is now available at eriesd.org/familyguide. The guide includes helpful information about school bell times, transportation, health policies and more. Take a few minutes to read to help ensure that you and your children kick off the 2026-27 school year right!

#NationalNightOut #ErieHighSchool

Stay Connected Royals!

Your Neighborhood. Your Community. Your National Night Out at Erie High.

Summer is in full swing, and we want to make sure National Night Out at Erie High is on your calendar! Join us for an evening of live music, community resources and fun for all ages. You won't want to miss it! 💜

On this first Friday of summer, the halls are quiet, giving us a chance to reflect on what it means to be a Royal. 💜

Today, we want to recognize one of our Royal athletes and 2026 grad, Elijah Flemings. The only runner in Erie High track history to break 50 seconds in the 400-meter dash and a team captain during his senior year, Elijah represented Erie High with excellence both on and off the track.

Recently, a parent from McDowell reached out to share how kind, respectful, and influential Elijah has been toward members of opposing teams. Although a student at Academy, he proudly represented Erie High and demonstrates what it means to be a Royal.

We love seeing Royal behavior in action.👑

If you know a Royal who deserves recognition for exemplifying our values, send us a message. We'd love to celebrate our students all summer long! 💜💛

Service & Sunshine 💛

Proud of our Royals for always showing leadership through service. 👑
