UPDATE! EV Charger up and charging!

Each year since the first graduating class of Eastern Mennonite High School in 1921, the senior class has collected donations from class members to provide the school with a gift for future generations to enjoy. 

The class of 2022 leaves a lasting legacy with their generous donation of an EV (electric vehicle) charger to the school. Their forward-thinking gesture reflects their commitment to sustainability and innovation.  Newly installed and ready for use, the EV charger symbolizes progress and embraces the future of transportation technology. This gift serves as a tangible reminder of the class’s dedication to leaving a positive impact on the school and the environment. As students, staff, and visitors utilize the charger, they are reminded of the thoughtful contribution made by the Class of 2022, fostering a sense of pride and community within the school.

Special thanks to Hugh Stoll. Hugh is a parent of a 2022 graduate. His knowledge of renewable energy helped the EV charger class gift come to fruition. 

EMS is grateful to each class who has generously made a gift that will benefit the students who follow them! If you would like to make a contribution to help offset the annual electric costs associated with the charger (or a significant gift to purchase solar panels to make the chargers truly efficient!), click here and note “charging station” in the memo.  Each charge currently costs EMS approximately $5, and these costs can add up over time.

Chargers are located behind the cafeteria in the auditorium parking lot.
