Project Details

A 2026 Bond Would:

  • PARTIALLY RENOVATE AND EXPAND EHS:
    • A new main office at the front of the building with a SECURE VESTIBULE.
    • NEW CLASSROOMS to alleviate current overcrowding.
    • NEW PERFORMING ARTS CENTER with modern equipment for school and community use

Ephrata has a smaller tax base than many, similarly sized districts. Completing all EHS renovation needs in a single bond would create an unmanageable tax impact. Phased renovation now prevents needing TWO Future bonds later.

Understanding the Funding

If approved by voters, $14.5 million of the approximately $21 million Ephrata High School total project cost would be generated by local tax dollars ("Local Share").

Roughly $6.9 million would come from state matching funds from the School Construction Assistance Program (State Funds).
