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!

Senior Sunrise

The ECHS Senior class and staff got to campus today at 6:00 am to have breakfast together and watch the sunrise at the football stadium. It was such a great event that the students planned!

Welcome Back Social

After school today we finished out the week with a Welcome Back Social. The Leadership students put on an event for all students from 3:30-5:30. Students brought food and games and got to enjoy the great weather and each other's company. ECHS is truly a special place!
