Congratulations to Gabby Lind on finishing 3rd in the Sectional tournament at Cliffside on Monday! Gabby advances to Districts on Monday 9/28 at Crown Hill Golf Course.
Buses 14 and 24, Lesa Sidwell and Joe Barnhart, will not run today. Additional roads we will not be able to travel are Locust Grove/ East Shade area, Follrod, Smith Baker/ Lick Skillet, Mudsock and Guthrie.
As floodwaters continue to recede this evening across the district, Eastern Local Schools will plan to operate on a two-hour delay Tuesday, September 22.
We will continue to monitor weather conditions, water levels, and road conditions overnight, with possible updates to come in the morning regarding the status of school and any roads our buses may not be able to travel.
If at any time you do not feel comfortable getting to school because of conditions in your area, please stay safe and contact your child’s school office to let them know the situation.
Stay safe, and hopefully we can dry out and get back to normal soon.

Eastern Local is excited to welcome our new Music Director, Lydia Risler, to our school and community. We are proud to give Mrs. Risler an opportunity to introduce herself:
“Hello, my name is Lydia Risler, and I'm the new music director at Eastern Local Schools. I'm an Athens native and a graduate of Capital University. I was drawn to Eastern because of the strong sense of community and loyalty in and around the school. I hope to add to that culture and not only encourage students to be lifelong music lovers, but to help foster a supportive and kind community of good people.”
Eastern has a strong tradition and history within our music program, and we are thankful to have Ms. Risler joining our district and community. We are excited to see the continued growth of the program under her leadership.
Please join us in welcoming Ms. Lydia Risler to the Eastern family.

Attention Seniors!
Important Note: If you do NOT want to participate in this program - you must complete the opt-out form.
Ohio’s Direct Admission Program is designed to make the college admissions process easier and help students discover more opportunities after high school. Through the program, participating Ohio colleges and universities can review information already available through a student’s high school and proactively offer admission to eligible students—sometimes without the student having to complete a traditional college application first.
Why is this exciting?
Students may receive early admission offers from participating colleges.
It can reduce the stress, cost, and paperwork associated with applying to college.
Students may discover colleges they had not previously considered.
An admission offer gives students another option to consider as they build their college plans.
Important: A Direct Admission offer does not mean a student has to attend that college. Students and families should still compare colleges, programs, costs, financial aid, and overall fit before making a decision.
The Ohio Direct Admission Program begins with students graduating in 2026–2027 (Class of 2027) from participating schools.
If you would like to opt-out of this program, please visit the guidance office or the Senior Room to obtain the form.
