HBCU Recruitment Fair


*ECHS alumni Jaelyn Graves attended this college fair last year and was accepted to multiple HBCUs on the spot.  Jaelyn is now attending Tuskegee University in Alabama.  I tagged her in a tweet this week and she responded with some advice for the ECHS students.

ECHS Student of the Week



This is a new feature I am adding to the blog each week.  12th grade student Elya Kandahari is our first ECHS student of the week.  Elya did such an amazing job last semester in her college Chem 1 class!  Elya's professor reported that she finished the class with a 98% overall grade.  Elya now has a part-time job working in the SCC Tutoring lab as an embedded tutor for Physical Geography/Geology Lab.  Great work Elya!
*We have a lot of students in college Chem 1 this semester.  Thank you Mr. Voyce for putting them through your Pre-Chem bootcamp.  This class can be very challenging.  Students who need help please utilize the tutoring center and I am sure Elya will help out as well.

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
