FSUSD Highest Honors


Last night was the FSUSD Highest Honors Award Ceremony.  This ceremony is for students graduating high school with an average GPA of 4.0 or higher.  With the Solano College courses getting an extra grade bump like an honors or AP class, we had 6 students earn Highest Honors status.

Congratulations to Jeremy Good, Joel Perez, Trinity So, Olivia Matsumoto-Elliot, Sara Hobson, and Adelina Liew all graduating with a 4.0 or higher!

Here is an article about the event.  Olivia is on the front page of today's Daily Republic!

Final Exams

Solano College final exams started today and run all next week.  Many students have final exams at different times than their class usually meets.  If any student has a college final during a high school class period, we excuse them from their high school class.  We are just asking that the students give their teachers a heads up if this is the case.  Parents, also please note some final exams take place in the afternoon or nighttime.  We want to wish all the students the best of luck on their finals.  





Solano College Graduation

The Solano College graduation is next week on Thursday, May 24 at 6:00pm.  We have 9 ECHS students graduating from Solano College with one or more AA degrees.  Here is a list of the Early College SCC graduates.  We are proud of their achievements!

ECHS Back to School Nights It's almost time for Back to School Night. We do things a little differently than other schools.  The ECHS team hosts 3 nights (based on grade level) and provides a presentation for parents and guardians. At the conclusion of the presentation, we open it up for families to ask individual questions to our staff members.  If you are unable to attend in person, recordings of the presentations will be available for families to view at their convenience.  Our first night is tomorrow 8/24 from 6:00-7:30pm for 9th-grade families.  Our 10th-grade night is on 8/26 and our 11th-12th grade night is on 8/31. *Masks are required for everyone inside all buildings at Solano College.   Math Support I had the pleasure of visiting Mrs. Freitas' Math class last week.  The students were doing a hands-on activity from our Math Carnegie curriculum and we work in small groups.   We have additional after-school support for students who need Math help every Monday and Thursda

 Power Outage Friday morning sure was interesting at ECHS!  We went from extremely hot weather earlier in the week to a colder Friday morning with some rain, lightning, and thunder.  We were without power on parts of the campus for the zero period, first period, and part of the 3rd period.  We did our best by moving a couple classes into the cafeteria, using natural light, and placing emergency flashlight lanterns in classrooms.  I really appreciate the patience and flexibility demonstrated by our staff and students.   National Suicide Prevention Day Friday was National Suicide Prevention Day.  Daily Reminder cards were passed out to students with positive messages.  Students and staff also wore teal and purple to show support.   We are very excited to announce that we will be bringing Kaiser Permanente's Ghosted program to ECHS for the first time later this semester.  Ghosted is a program that reduces stigma and encourages open discussion, to help teens understand they are not alo
