Roof tiles throughout the main Ephrata High School building have had to be replaced due to water damage caused by a leaky roof. While the district has replaced the tiles pictured, ongoing leaks, even after attempted roof repairs, require a replacement of the roof to prevent further damage and keep the facility safe.
