Please join us in celebrating the following students and staff, who were recognized at a recent assembly for their outstanding work by our EPSD9 School Board.

Words from Eagle Point Middle School:

Ryder Statz exemplifies determination and achievement. Always seeking new challenges, Ryder joined a STEAM class midway through the year and quickly set his sights on SkillsUSA competition. In his first year competing, he earned 1st place in both Prepared Speech and Extemporaneous Speaking. His dedication extends beyond SkillsUSA, with years of participation in Brain Bowl and Scavenger Hunt. Ryder's work ethic, versatility, and commitment to growth inspire those around him to push beyond their own expectations.

Joyner Statz is recognized for both his academic excellence and exceptional character. Through his involvement in Brain Bowl, Scavenger Hunt, creative writing, and writing competitions, Joyner consistently demonstrates high achievement. What truly sets him apart, however, is his willingness to support others. His kindness, leadership, and encouragement help create an environment where everyone can learn, grow, and succeed.

Michelle Sked has been an invaluable leader and support staff member at EPMS. Her extensive knowledge of the building, programs, systems, and school history has made a tremendous difference throughout the year. Through her professionalism, partnership, and dedication, Michelle helps ensure the success of students and staff alike. Her leadership and commitment to excellence make her truly deserving of recognition.

Nicole Spangler's leadership has created incredible opportunities for students to learn, compete, and succeed. This year, she helped lead programs including the SOU Scavenger Hunt, Brain Bowl, and the SOESD Spontaneous Contraption Challenge. She also guided EPMS students to an outstanding SkillsUSA season, with state championships in Robotics: Urban Search and Rescue, Prepared Speech, and Pin Design, along with strong performances across multiple events. At the national level, students earned 7th place in Robotics and 9th place in T-Shirt Design. Most importantly, Nicole empowers students to develop confidence, leadership skills, and a passion for learning.

Congratulations to Ryder, Joyner, Michelle, and Nicole on these well-deserved recognitions. Thank you for the positive impact you make on our school community every day.

Creativity, collaboration, and school pride came together in an incredible way this year. In January, a group of students approached staff with an idea to create a mural for our campus. What began as a conversation quickly grew into a shared vision. Students worked through multiple design concepts, collaborated on a final plan, and then dedicated countless hours to bringing it to life!
The week before spring break, they primed the wall and returned day after day to transform a stairwell into a vibrant piece of art!.
We are proud to recognize Olivia Almaraz, Giovanny Ceja Galicia, Serenity Harper, and Alona Rardin for their outstanding contribution to campus beautification.
Their creativity, teamwork, and commitment have left a lasting mark on our school community! GO PANTHERS!

A huge thank you to Amy Lukens and the SOESD team for organizing such a fun and creative event yesterday! We’re also incredibly grateful to Daniel Langton’s Eagle Point High School students for serving as amazing judges and mentors throughout the competition.
Students were challenged to design and build a contraption that could feed a pet using only the materials provided to them. Teams received a bag of supplies along with tickets they could use to “purchase” additional materials or access a hot glue gun. They also had the opportunity to trade materials with other teams, encouraging creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving along the way.
Our students had an absolute blast and showed off some impressive innovation and teamwork!
Award Winners:
Engineering Award — Smart use of simple machines, efficiency, and thoughtful design:
The Seconders — Kaia G., Colbie B., Waylon M., and Brea B.
Teamwork Award — Clear collaboration, shared roles, and problem-solving together:
Soup — Damon M., Wyatt N., Allison V., and Kayla W.
