8th grade Open House

Wednesday we hosted 8th grade students and their families after school here at ECHS.  We had 32 amazing students serve as tour guides.  The students showed the 8th graders and their parents around the campus, discussed the program, and answered questions.  

Applications for 9th grade Fall enrollment will be accepted January 22nd - February 6th.







 ECHS Alumni

ECHS/SCC graduate Rico Pelcher visited College Readiness classes and spoke to the current ECHS students on Thursday.  Rico gave advice to the students and shared experiences from last semester at CSU Fullerton.  Rico also came and spoke with 8th graders and families Wednesday night during the Open House event.  Multiple other ECHS alumni came back to visit staff during our December teacher work day.  It is so great to see the alumni from last year's first graduating class and hear about how wonderful they are doing at the various four-year universities they attend.


Teacher of the Year

Thursday, ECHS Leadership students presented Ms. Turgeon-Staggs flowers and a card for being named ECHS Teacher of the Year.  Ms. Turgeon-Staggs is in her second year teaching Math and College Readiness at ECHS and also serves as the advisor for both the Robotics and Senior Class Clubs.  Prior to teaching at ECHS, she taught at Rodriguez High School, Grange, and Sullivan Middle Schools.  Ms. Turgeon-Staggs was honored at the FSUSD School Board meeting.








SCC Spring Semester Begins Monday
With college classes starting back up next week we want to remind everyone that there are supports to help aid in student success.  The SCC tutoring center continues to be under utilized by our students.  They provide support for just about every college class.  Please encourage your son or daughter to sign up for the free college tutoring sooner than later if needed.  If you are interested in finding out more about the college tutoring please contact me or Ms. Mae.

 We will also be working to make sure every student gets their college textbooks as quick as possible.  If we have the book on our shelf, we will check it out to the student asap.  We will also be purchasing books from the campus bookstore, ordering some books through Amazon, and purchasing the online book access codes as needed.  ECHS is a zero cost program, including the textbooks, but it is the student's responsibility to let us know what books are needed for their college classes.









ECHS Panoramic Picture

Friday, 1/18/19 at 11:00am in the SCC Gym, we will be taking a panoramic picture of the entire student body.  There will also be a second picture taken with just the Class of 2019 seniors.  The pictures are available for purchase.  We will also be adding the panoramic pictures into our ECHS end of year magazine.

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
