Message from Ms. Mae


Students in the ECHS program are 4-year university bound and one of the requirements to apply are either SAT or ACT.  Tests must be completed by December of their 12th Grade year. UC/CSU may take either test, but for private colleges it is best to reference their admissions requirements prior to deciding which one to take. 
  • Check out resources about ACT such as test prep, dates, and how to register: http://www.act.org/

Students of the Week




 12th grader Noah Rumbaoa is one of the ECHS Students of the Week.  Noah has excelled in every high school and college class that he has taken.  Noah has an overall weighted GPA of 4.38!  For his Senior Project, Noah will be working on learning Tagalog better and putting lessons together to teach the language.  He will also be participating in cultural events and is working with another student to put on a culture day!  Noah's college classes are Chemistry 1, English 2, and Astronomy 20, all on top of his high school load.  Noah is also the new President of the ECHS Honor Society.  Great job Noah!










 9th grade student Aize Sorae is also our ECHS Student of the Week.  Aize is working hard in all her high school classes and we are expecting big things from her in the future here at ECHS.  Aize was the first 9th grader to complete her Science test corrections. 
She is a member of the Rodriguez High School Cheer Team and is doing great with her SCC American Sign Language class.  Keep up the good work Aize!

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
