We are excited to officially welcome Dr. Dillon Gorby to our Bulldog Team!
Dr. Gorby brings a wealth of experience as an athletic trainer, having worked in high school, collegiate, and professional sports settings. He has a professional interest in sports management and rehabilitation, return-to-sport testing, and concussion training. He is currently a full-time Physical Therapist for Southwoods Health and will also be working with our athletes here in EP!
This time of year, we know students have an increased chance of latching on to the germs that viciously circulate. Staying at home to recover is part of the process.
But if your student is absent, give the school office a quick call! Communication is key!

Welcome to Week 3 of the "Bulldog Safety Zone." Recent studies show a significant increase in vaping among teenagers, raising concerns about the long-term effects of nicotine exposure on developing brains. To discourage and deter our students from vaping, detectors have been installed throughout our buildings. If necessary, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the Student Handbook regarding any student found to be in possession of a vape.
We know you probably don’t need a reminder, but we wanted to share this just in case!
It will be a "whole new world" here in East Palestine when the Drama Club's 2025 Spring Production of Aladdin Jr. comes to town on March 14-16!
