"EHS is a good resource for students who need to make-up credit without having to go to night school or for students such as myself that are sick of classrooms and wish to graduate early. In my opinion the best part about this school, is that even though you never meet your teacher you still get a one-on-one that is rarely seen in a traditional school. The only problem that I have seen so far is the school spirit. EHS needs a mascot to cheer on the football team (we also need that), and what about the school rings?"In a related story, the Toledo Blade reports: Schools Offer Online Classes to Stem Exodus of Students. Maybe the technology Dragon will make it to the side of a football helmet in logo form some day...then it may be said in earnest that opposing teams may be Chasing the Dragon's Tailback... (humor me, on this one... I know that it's a stretch).
