Ekalaka Public Schools want to thank the community for their support of our Elementary and Technology Levies which passed in May. We are grateful for the support the community continues to give to Ekalaka Public Schools.

The class of 2022-2023 graduated on Saturday, May 20th. There were 25 scholarships passed out to the seniors, with a grand total of $91,000 dollars being granted. Congratulations to the seniors and we wish them well as they move on to new adventures in their lives.
