Over the May 5 weekend, the EHS Auto Club participated in a Valve Cover Race at Wyotech’s Sacramento campus. The event was an open house complete with a car show and music. EHS/HROP Auto Instructor Torg Sahlman stated, “Valve Cover racing is new to me, but it resembles the Pinewood Derby races I participated in during my Cub Scout years. Our Eureka High Auto Club competed in the stock division of the high school section and received first place with a $500 prize for our auto club program! It was a great time and learning experience for all, and we plan on attending next year along with possibly Fortuna High School." |

At the November 5, 2011 board meeting, staff presented the Board with options for reorganizing K-8. Reorganization is being considered to create more room because for the first time in many years Eureka City Schools kindergarten through 3rd grade enrollment is increasing. Additional room may also be needed beginning in 2012-13, because Education Code will require districts offer a “transitional kindergarten” program for students whose admission would be delayed because of the Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2010. This Act gradually increases the age for admission into kindergarten over a four-year period.
