This program is an 11-day educational tour to Barcelona, Valencia, Granada, Costa del Sol, Seville, Córdoba, Puerto Lápice and Madrid.  Students can receive high school or university credit for attending this tour and recent studies have shown that students who participate in a global education program while in high school are more likely to get into the college of their choice and hold leadership positions on campus.

We are hosting this final enrollment meeting on Tuesday, August 27th at 6 PM at East Bernard High School in Room 15 to answer your questions. If you are interested in your child participating in this experience, the deadline to sign up is Saturday, August 31st.  If you are a repeat traveler, you are eligible for a $100 discount. We are expecting the trip to fill up before the deadline!

TEA Releases 2019 A-F Accountability

First Day of School, 8/15/19

The first day of school for the 19-20 school year is almost here. On Thursday, August 15th EBISD welcomes all of our students back to campus and hopes you all have an exceptional year making EBISD the Best of the Best. 

 

Pick up and drop off procedures will remain the same as we closed out the year in 18-19 with some changes coming in October when we move into our new elementary school. We know parents want to walk their children to school the first couple of days and you are right in thinking that parking will be an obstacle. We wish we could fix that problem but construction has us bound a little while longer. There will be limited spots in front of the Naiser and science building parents may use. Although the hike in August may be daunting, you are also welcome to park in the gravel lot by the Pullin gym. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your patience. Looking forward to seeing you all Thursday!
