Evans Community Member,
Welcome to Evans High School, "A Place of High Achievement" where our focus is on literacy, rigor and relationships. Our school's pillars of pride, determination and perseverance continue to be on display daily by our students, staff and community.
Please take a few moments to complete the 2022 annual parent survey. Your feedback is most appreciated. The responses to the surveys are kept anonymous, but the combined results help us greatly in our school improvement plans. Surveys are a means to systematically engage all our stakeholders in two-way communication. They provide school leaders and teachers a view into the thinking and perceptions of our stakeholders. We value your opinion and ask that you take a few minutes to complete the survey. Please click on the link: Evans School Survey
The Divine Nine (Black History Month)
There are nine Historically Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLOs) that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Collectively, these organizations are referred to as "The Divine Nine." Each of these fraternities and sororities is rich in history - ties to one or more of these organizations may be found in many college-educated Black families in the United States.

Required Extended Tutoring |
Required Extended Tutoring is still occurring for those currently in season who received a D /or F on their quarter 2 report card. Evans is committed to pushing our athletes to excel on and off the court. Those required to attend must do so from 2:40- 3:30 with the individual teacher or in the cafeteria Tuesdays and Thursdays until the next grade report is submitted. Tutoring time must be logged at http://tinyurl.com/21-22TrojanTutoringLog
Once students complete tutoring at 3:30 they can attend practice/ games. If they do not, they risk being pulled off the field/court.
