We’re celebrating our newest Wolverine Way award winners! We are so lucky to have these young leaders in our hallways. They remind us that being a Wolverine means being kind, being brave, and being your best self. 💚


Carol and Roger Powles received the Iowa High School Athletic Directors Service Award this evening at the EM vs. FM basketball games. They have been volunteering for 50 years at East Mills and the former Malvern Schools, at any and all events. You will most likely hear Roger announcing and Carol helping with the scorebook. Both are great assets and supporters of the East Mills CSD. We appreciate all their time and dedication!

East Mills is more than a classroom. It’s a community.
What does it feel like to teach at East Mills? From building deep-rooted relationships with colleagues and students to having an administration that truly listens, Ms. Lewis has found more than just a place to work; she’s found where she belongs.
