There will be a showing of the acclaimed “Dream Big: Engineering Our World” documentary, showcasing the important role that engineers play in our society. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in a STEM activity after the movie to further their interest in engineering and STEM careers.

January IB Learner Profile: Courageous: I am willing to make mistakes and am prepared to try new things.  I am willing to try and do things in different ways. 

Nelson Mandela once asserted that, “There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Indeed, his life’s work was anything but small. And yet when people--especially young people--look at role models like Mandela, they sometimes find it hard to imagine how they can aspire to such greatness.  

Please join us on Saturday, March 28 for the third annual Pancake Dash 5K and Fun Run!  This has previously been an Eastover-only sponsored event and this year we are excited to include East Hills as well. 

The main office has registration packets or you go online to the school web page to register online.
