Always Looking Forward
– Jeff Finelli, Principal
EPE has a long-standing and strong reputation here in Chicago. We are a group of educators and parents who are community-oriented, student-centered, and service-minded. To keep offering the best to our school community, we decided to update our school identity to better represent who we are, our values, and how we will move forward as a pack.
Our Approach
In thinking through how to best lead our students forward, we spent time as a team working on a number of aspects that shape the student academic experience here at EPE.
Starting with our beliefs, we have focused on providing strong student supports with MTSS, aligned our curriculum, instructions, and assessments, as well as our grading practices.
Wolf Expectations
Our Values
Our WOLF Expectations encompass all of our priorities as a school, which is ultimately, doing what is best for our students.
Winning Attitude

Focus On Respect
A Positive Learning Environment
At EPE, you'll find students enjoying their time here because they know we put them first. Students have a voice to craft and cultivate their own learning experiences. We don't just hear them, we listen and implement, which allows them to take ownership. And as parents, that's what we want - for our children to grow up and make choices that they can live with, and thrive.
