Due to unsafe road conditions, all after-school and evening activities are canceled for Wednesday, December 10. With temperatures dropping and wind picking up, we encourage everyone—especially our young drivers—to please stay home if possible and stay safe.

A new chapter begins for our East Lansing family.  

Together with our partners at UM Health-Sparrow, we opened the doors to the ELPS Health Center - bringing accessible, high-quality care to students and community members right inside East Lansing High School. 

Because when our students are healthy, supported, and cared for, they’re ready to engage, learn, and grow.
