There is only one day left for the first year of the Elmwood Summer Drama Camp! We hope to see you all tomorrow at 10:30 in the HS auditorium for our final showcase! It should last just over an hour! Please enter through the front doors, which will open at 10:00.
And if your student didn't make it this year, don't worry--we'll be back next summer!





Get out of the heat and come watch some volleyball at EHS today! The team is hosting their annual end of summer league tournament! There will be games all day and evening. Elmwood plays at noon, 5pm, and 7pm. Come support EHS volleyball!


Drama Camp started our last week off with a bang! We are becoming pros at multiple Improv Games, and our scripted monologues and duet scenes are coming along nicely! We hope to see you this Thursday at 10:30 for our final showcase!





Today marks the final day for our Junior/Senior High School Principal, Tony McCoy, as he officially begins his well-earned retirement! Mr. McCoy is also an Elmwood graduate and held many titles while in this building: student, athlete, graduate, teacher, coach, parent, and principal.
With 28 years of dedicated service to our students, staff, and families, he has left a lasting legacy of leadership, compassion, and commitment to education. From mentoring teachers to cheering in the stands at Friday night games, Mr. McCoy has been a pillar of our school community. He has instilled the values of The Trojan Way in our community for decades.
As you can see, he's already moved out for Mr. Bell to move into his office. Please join us in thanking Tony for an incredible journey and wishing all the best in this next chapter! Once a Trojan, Always A Trojan 🧡🖤 #TheTrojanWay
