ASVAB:
Are you interested in taking the ASVAB? The ASVAB is a career planning tool for all students, not just those who are interested in the Military. It will be held on October 22nd. Any 11th or 12th grader who is interested in going into the military or if you are unsure what you would like to do as a career can take the test. Please use this form to sign up by October 10th.

Healthful Living Parental Consent/Health Screening Consent 2025-26: Thank you for recently submitting the online Back to School Forms for your student. Some forms were not available to you at the time of your submission. Please complete these grade-specific form(s) below for your 9th-grade student. *If you have previously submitted the consent form, you need not resubmit.
Staff of the Month:
Is there a EAHS staff member you would like to recognize for their work with your student? Do you know someone who goes above and beyond and who deserves to be celebrated? If so, please fill out this form to nominate them for our Staff Member of the Month. We recognize one individual each month. We will also share all nominations with the staff members who were nominated.
Workkeys:
Are you a senior who will be taking the workkeys test? If the answer is yes, you can compete in a weekly challenge for a chance to win a Chick-fil-A reward card! Answer the 6 questions found here to earn points by this Thursday at 5pm. The students with the highest scores will be entered into the drawing to be this week’s winner.
Parking Pass:
Any student parking on campus should have a valid parking pass displayed. Please use this link to purchase a pass. Students who park on campus without a pass are subject to having their car towed at the owner’s expense. All other school fees/fines must be paid in order for you to be able to purchase a parking pass.
Cell Phones:
The majority of our student body is doing a great job with the ABSS Wireless Communication Device Procedures. As a quick reminder, wireless devices should be placed away from students (in the cell phone holders) during instructional time. We should not be able to see them on students (in pockets, in ears, etc.) Thank you for your continued support with these new procedures.
Back To School Forms:
Parents, have you created your Infinite Campus Account? If not, check your email. More information about Infinite Campus as well as a link to download the app can be found here.
Chromebooks:
Students who do not have chromebooks yet, will be able to check them out during 1st and 2nd period tomorrow.. This year, we are offering families the opportunity to purchase optional insurance for their student(s) chromebook. The cost of the optional insurance is $25. This premium is good for one instance of unintentional breakage (lost or intentional damage is not covered) and will help protect you from higher cost. You may elect when to apply your premium. Once used, the family would have the option to replace the optional insurance premium for an additional $25. For more details, including a list of part replacement costs, click here for the Mobile Learning Handbook. You may use this link to purchase the optional insurance.
