Parent & Family Involvement Opportunities at ETHS

  • The following list highlights several opportunities for parent involvement at ETHS. In addition to these formal parent groups and committees, there are also a number of volunteer opportunities within the various ETHS departments (e.g.: the Jazz Festival planning committee through the Fine Arts Department), or through sports teams and student activities or clubs (e.g.: team parent for some sports teams and competitive clubs).

    Boosters Club. The ETHS Boosters Club raises funds to support ALL extracurricular activities at ETHS. It is the only boosters club in the Central Suburban League that supports Athletics, Fine Arts, and Clubs & Activities. Boosterpalooza is the marquee annual fundraiser and community event not to be missed.  Boosters also manages Spiritwear Sales throughout the year, yard sign sales in the Fall and Winter, sells concessions at football and basketball games, and sponsors the Crystal "E" Award, which is given to a nominated, exceptional staff member at the end of the school year. Donations are also welcome via our Boosters website. Note that all contributions to Boosters are tax deductible.

     
    All ETHS families and staff members are invited to join the Boosters! Members receive free admission to most home football and basketball games as well as discounted admission to select Fine Arts events. Discounted memberships are available to families who qualify for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program.
