In this August 2025 photo, we see the ELHS we attended in the front and the new ELHS, under construction, in the rear. In the foreground, a temporary parking lot has replaced the grassy area we knew in high school. The new ELHS is scheduled to be completed in August 2026, after which the current school will be razed and replaced by a landscaped entrance area and athletic fields. Photo by David Sady.
