Eagle Point High School

I was doing some research on the city of Eagle Point (Oregon) were I went to school at EPHS.
I found a great article on the Mail Tribune website that talked about some changes the high school was making to accommodate limited English speaking students. Next year they will be adding more English Language Learner teachers and a new English language development curriculum. Admin. believes that the program will help to improve the English proficiency standards that the school has been struggling with and are encouraged that the rates will increase. When I graduated EPHS eleven years ago, the number of Spanish speaking students was growing every year. The area provides a draw to migrant workers because of the many thousands of acres of fruit orchards. I had heard that the number of Spanish speaking students was catching up to English speaking students for quite some time, so it sounds like the program was long overdue.
