Congrats EHS Junior Cian Waite. The Edgemont Community is proud of your commitment to your country, and we applaud your participation in the Deferred Enrollment Program (DEP) to become a United States Marine. As part of the DEP process, Cian Waite spent the last weekend in Sioux Falls, completing the process of becoming a “Poolee.”
What is a Poolee, you ask?
A Poolee is some who has decided to become a United States Marine but is still in the process of completing any remaining affairs, such as graduating high school, for up to 365 days.
Enrollment in the DEP gives Poolees the unique opportunities to include:
• Guaranteed Program Placement: Poolees will receive a guaranteed occupational specialty writing.
• Career Advancement: While in the DEP, Poolees have the opportunity for accelerated promotion giving you a head start in your career.
• Physical Fitness Training: Marine Poolees will participate in physical conditioning to improve their fitness to prepare them for the Initial Strength Test (IST).
• Mentorship: Marine recruiters will support and guide Poolees to prepare them for the challenge of recruit training.
• Community Support: Poolees are surrounded by a community of aspiring Marines who will gain a sense of honor, courage, and commitment.
Marine Poolees are exceptional examples of what many strive to be but fail to accomplish.
There are strict requirements that civilians need to pass to become a Poolee and eventually a Marine.
Applicants do not officially become Poolees until they swear in at the local Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS).
Congrats, Cian, on becoming a Marine Poole! We are so proud of you! Go, Moguls!

The woodworking projects are finished for the year!
High school students have had the opportunity to take Finish Carpentry, where they made woodworking projects. Throughout the course, they had a set of projects where they had to carefully plan and learn how to use a multitude of tools including a drill press, miter saw, belt sander, band saw, and table saw. We are very proud of how their projects turned out and we are looking forward to what they will be able to build in the future!

We have to cancel our track meet today, unfortunately. Everything is too wet and soggy. We were looking forward to watching everyone compete today, but bring on the rain and the green grass!
