 The school colors are Northwestern purple and old gold.Through the 2019–20 school year, it serves high school students in West Point, and therefore has been a feeder high school of the West Point Independent School District, which only covers grades K-8.This arrangement will end on July 1, 2020, when the West Point district merges into Hardin County Schools (HCS); while West Point students already enrolled at EHS will be allowed to continue their education there, future West Point high school students will attend North Hardin High School.
