 Maker Space

A group of our 9th grade students had the opportunity to spend two hours in the Maker Space Lab with Professor Karen Cook.  The students got to do a project with the 3D and laser printing machines.  The rest of the 9th grade class along with others, will get a chance to visit the Maker Space Lab on upcoming Fridays.  Solano College is also offering multiple 1 unit Maker Space courses that will be taking place after 3:00 pm.  I'll keep you posted as those classes become available.













 ECHS Parent Group
Last school year we started a parent group at ECHS.  It was small group of parents that I met with once a month to discuss ECHS goals, budget, data, and to plan events like the Senior Awards Ceremony.  The group met at 2:00 pm last year, but I would like to move it to 6:00 pm to give more parents an opportunity to get involved. Our first meeting of the year will be Monday, Sept. 24 in room 1104,  everyone is welcome.  Please email me if you plan to attend.  Thanks!

 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 ope...

Class of 2019 On Thursday many of the seniors wore shirts from the colleges they will be attending in the fall.  We are so proud of all the seniors for all their hard work in the program! Senior Project Showcase Today was our second annual ECHS Senior Project Showcase.  The seniors worked all year on their projects and today they spent the day sharing what they did with the younger ECHS students, parents, teachers, and community members.  The students did an excellent job presenting their work!  If you weren't able to make it out here is brief summary of each student's project.
