Welcome!

Ephrata Middle School Tigers:

Welcome back to school! We hope you had a fantastic summer and are excited to begin a new academic year. Whether you're returning or new to our school, we're thrilled to have you as part of our community.

Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where you can thrive. Our dedicated teachers and staff are here to guide and inspire you. Don't hesitate to reach out to them for help.

Along with academics, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities and clubs. Explore your interests and make new friends. Remember, growth comes from embracing challenges and learning from both successes and failures.

Additionally, we want to emphasize the importance of Tiger Pride, our school's core value. Tiger Pride represents the spirit, unity, and integrity that we expect from every student. It means taking pride in your accomplishments, treating others with respect, and representing our school with dignity both inside and outside the classroom. Let's demonstrate Tiger Pride in all that we do, supporting and encouraging each other as we work together to achieve greatness. Together, we can make our school community stronger and create a positive and welcoming environment for everyone.

Let's work together to make this year one filled with remarkable accomplishments, memorable experiences, and a collective sense of pride in our school.

Sincerely,

Tina Mullings
EMS Principal
