ECHS Alumni Panel

On Thursday, May 30th we had seven alumni from our first graduating class return to campus to give advice and share their experiences from their first year after high school with our current juniors and seniors.  The students discussed what life is like on the UC Davis and CSU Fullerton campuses.  We also had students talk about programs that Solano has for full-time adult students and how the transfer process works.  This was such a great event and definitely something we want to make an annual tradition.  Special thanks to Mr. Voyce for setting this up, preparing questions for the panel, and serving as the moderator.  





Freshman Social
On Tuesday, May 28th we welcomed students from our new freshman class to come to campus.  The leadership students did a great job interacting with the students, showing them around campus, giving them advice, and playing some games with them.  We look forward to the class of 2023 starting in the fall!









Senior Awards
We held our 2nd Annual Senior Awards on Thursday, May 30th.  It was a very special night and every senior in the program was honored and presented their ECHS stole to wear at graduation.  This was such a special night and it has become my favorite event of the year.  Graduations to the class of 2019!  They have made us all real proud!

 Here are some photos that Mr. Tenenbaum took at the event.  I posted 140 more photos in an album on the ECHS facebook page if you would like to check them out.















































College Readiness 12 Final
Yesterday the seniors had an interactive final exam.  Each student completed a lap around the entire campus, which was just under 2 miles.  There were seven stations along the way for the students to stop at and reflect on their favorite ECHS memories.  It was such a fun way for the students to end their time here on the Solano College campus.  


RHS Graduation
Graduation is tonight at 6:00pm.  We are so proud of all the ECHS and RHS graduates.  Look for pictures of our graduates on the ECHS facebook page, twitter account, instagram, and hopefully the Daily Republic.

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
