On Wednesday our Juniors and Seniors had the opportunity to explore and discuss different career opportunities at the OMJ-Meigs Career Fair. Thank you to Ohio Means Jobs Meigs for hosting our Eastern students!
Game Day!
Due to a culvert collapse on Scout Camp Road, Eastern Buses will not travel Oak Hill or Scout Camp Roads till further notice. Group Stop for students in that area will be Chester Methodist Church Lot.
Our community continues to come together to support families impacted by the recent flooding, and we want to make it as easy as possible for anyone who would like to help.
Eastern Local Schools will be collecting flood-relief donations during our Blood Drive on Thursday. If you are coming to donate blood or would simply like to drop off supplies, you are welcome to bring items to the school. We will make sure all donated items are delivered to the Meigs County EMA collection site.
Donations can also be taken directly to the Ohio Valley Christian Academy Campground, 39560 Rocksprings Road, Pomeroy, on Wednesday or Thursday from 10:00 AM–4:00 PM.
Needed items include hygiene products, cleaning supplies, non-perishable food, bottled water, and Gatorade. Please do not donate clothing or furniture.
We also want to give a huge thank you to the Joe Burrow Foundation for once again stepping up for Meigs County. The Foundation is raising money this week to help feed local families affected by the flooding, with donations being matched by an anonymous donor. This provides another great way for those who may not be able to donate supplies to help our neighbors in need.
Whether you donate supplies, give financially, volunteer your time, donate blood, or simply help a neighbor, every little bit matters.
We are extremely proud to be part of a community that takes care of one another. Thank you to everyone who is stepping up to help Meigs County recover.

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.
