SCC Spring Classes The SCC class schedule for next semester has been released.  The students have been planning out which course or courses to sign up for in their College Readiness classes.  I highly recommend that students not overload themselves.  Taking on a smaller amount of college units will often help students with their stress levels, reduce the amount of homework, and result in a higher GPA.  The overall goal of ECHS is to not earn an AA degree at all costs.  We encourage students to find balance and plan a workload that makes sense for their four year plan and beyond.  We want students to be well rounded and have time to enjoy high school, participate in clubs, play sports, etc.  The requirement of the program is to always have a minimum of 4 high school classes and 1 college class.   *The Special Admission forms are due to College Readiness teachers by Thursday, November 14th but can be turned in later if studen...

Academic Awards Last week we honored 107 ECHS 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students that earned an Academic Pin with a GPA of 3.5 or higher (including college classes)!  The students also got a frozen yogurt at lunch for their achievement.   These are some of our students that received their Academic Letters as well for 3 semesters with 3.5 GPAs or higher. Congratulations Nyree, Phon, and Ryan! Senior Pitches This week just about half of the seniors completed their Senior Pitches for their Senior Project.  The projects are going to be amazing!  The projects fall into one of the following categories:  Creative Arts, Career Exploration, and Community Service.  We love having parents come and sit on the panels to hear the seniors give their pitches and help provide them feedback.  If you are interested in listening to the pitches, please let us know which session you plan to attend and check in with Ms. Harris in the offi...
