Thanks to a generous alumni donor, a new archway will be installed in August of 2023 at the player’s entrance of the EAHS Football Stadium and JoAnn Schaffer Track. The archway will honor EASD Coaches Dean Wilson and Paul Yanke.
To celebrate their legacy, the Elkhorn Area School District Recognition Committee is raising funds to install commemorative plaques for the new archway. These plaques will serve as a tribute to Coach Wilson and Coach Yanke and their many contributions to our students and community.
Please consider helping us meet our fundraising goal of $2,500 to purchase and install these plaques. Your donation, no matter how small, will go a long way in ensuring that we can install these plaques and celebrate the legacy of our alumni for generations to come.

Yesterday we announced that EASD had been awarded the first #EnergyCLASSPrize through the US Department of Energy - we’re one of only 25 school districts in the nation to receive this award. Going forward, our team of Energized Elks staff and students will receive training from @energygov to identify, plan, and implement critical upgrades in our school facilities.
What does that look like in EASD? Prioritizing rehabilitating our historic buildings, reducing our carbon footprint, exploring alternative energy sources sensitive to the protected marsh and wildlife area between the Middle School and High School grounds, improving air quality and learning environments districtwide, and reshaping our ongoing Capital Improvement Plan model.
As part of the American-Made Program, this @energygov prize provides funding to 25 of the nation’s schools to support critical clean energy infrastructure and health improvements. Better facilities pave the way for better learning environments and better educational outcomes. Elkhorn will serve as an example for rural districts throughout the country.
