Welcome to El Molino High School

A message from Principal Matt Dunkle

Welcome to a new school year! El Molino High School continues to be a school where all students are safe and supported. We believe that all students are entitled to an education that provides them with the ability to graduate college and career ready and to participate in a variety of post-secondary opportunities of their own choosing. To ensure that each student can learn in an engaging and empowering environment, it is essential that the campus be a safe learning environment for all students. I firmly believe that our teachers and staff are committed to providing all students the necessary education essential for success after high school in a safe, supportive, engaging, and empowering school.

COVID-19 and Distance Learning Update!

Hello, Lions!

I hope you and your families are safe and healthy. This is a challenging time for us all. Please know that we are here to support and assist you as we work together to get through this very trying time.

We miss you all a great deal. Walking around campus and not having the opportunity to see and talk with each of you throughout the day is lonely and frustrating. Although we are not on campus together, we are together in spirit and through constant communication. Not only will you be engaged with your teachers each day and, to maintain our El Molino family, we will also be checking-in with some of you each day until we are reunited.

I know this is especially hard for our Seniors. We empathize with you and are working to come up with ways to help make this a positive end to, not only your Senior year, but your time as an El Molino Lion! Each member of the El Molino staff is endeavoring to generate ideas to do this. We, like always, are open to your suggestions. Please share your ideas with Jeno, Alfonso, and Catherine. They will take these to their Leadership class meetings which will be held virtually each Monday. El Mo, You know!

Please click here for a copy of the El Molino Distance Learning Schedule for Spring 2020. Be flexible because, as we know, things are changing rapidly. We will be in constant communication about any changes that occur. It is imperative that you check your school email and Google Classrooms daily. Also, watch the El Molino Instagram and Facebook posts for additional information.

We truly miss each of you! I wish were all together on campus. In the meantime, please be safe and do your best to stay healthy – follow social distancing, hand washing, and other health and safety protocols. When we do come together, I want us ALL to be present! And, I am confident we will because Together, We are El Molino!
