Dear Elyria Pioneer Student and Parent:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the new school year at Elyria High School.
As we strive to ensure that every student at Elyria High School has an amazing learning experience, we’ve identified a few focus areas to strengthen our students’ academic success and provide a more positive learning environment. Our talented teaching staff works extremely hard to maximize instructional time with students.
To provide a positive learning environment for all, we are incorporating many of the strategies implemented this past year including issuing individual Chromebooks to students as well as maintaining our Google Classrooms.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Don’t forget to check out our school website which is continually updated throughout the school year and currently provides electronic access to the student packet forms and information. We are undergoing a complete rebuilding process with our website so please check back if you are unable to find what you're looking for as we refresh our content.
