ACHIEVE Recognition Program
Achieving High Educational Values in Elkhorn
EHS, ESHS and the Elkhorn Public Schools Foundation are excited to support a program which
recognizes the achievements of graduating students. The program’s goal is to celebrate students who
engage in academically rigorous coursework while maintaining balance in other areas of interest within
our school. The emphasis of this program is on high-levels of academic challenge and school/community
engagement. We believe that exposure to core academic rigor, elective course sequences, community
service and school activities will promote success during and after high school.
Students who achieve the criteria below will be awarded with an EPS Foundation ACHIEVE Recognition
Program payment and will be recognized in the graduation ceremony brochure. Targets for recognition
