Parents, We are so proud of our EP Archery team as they officially qualified for Nationals in Louisville, KY over the weekend. They competed in Gainesville, and scored 4th in the state.

The eclipse requires approved NASA eyewear and we do not have enough for all of our students. Thank you for your understanding. Go Eagles 🦅!
