New Semester

The Spring 2020 semester started Monday and the students returned back after their 3 week winter break.  We welcomed three new students to ECHS and got off to a great start!  The majority of students have already received their college textbooks and many of the books that were ordered will be in Tuesday or Wednesday.  If students have not come by the office to request their college books, they need to come by during a break, second half of lunch, or after school so we can get them ordered asap.

 There is no school Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

 Tuesday we return on a 1,3,5,2,4,6 Friday schedule for high school classes.  *Students with college classes that conflict with a high school class on Tuesday just need to notify their high school teacher and then attend their college class.
Open House

Tuesday we held our Open House event after school.  8th grade students and families came for a tour of the campus and to get some final information about the ECHS program before deciding whether to apply for fall enrollment.  We will be accepting applications for next school year from Jan. 21- Feb. 5.  I want to thank the student tour guides, ECHS staff, ECHS parent group members, and even the alumni students that came back to help with this event, your support of our program is truly appreciated.

On Thursday we held our first ever Leadership mixer.  Leadership students from RHS joined our ECHS Leadership students here on campus for the after school event.  Students from both campuses had a great time connecting with each other and planning future events for all students to enjoy.






Salvation Army

On Friday, Major Randy Hartt from the Salvation Army came to campus to bring lunch as a thank you to the students and staff that participated in the Ringing the Bells event.  ECHS has won the bell ringing competition now for 4 years in a row!  Major Randy Hartt talked to the students about how the money raised will be used to support those in need in our community.

 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 ope...

Class of 2019 On Thursday many of the seniors wore shirts from the colleges they will be attending in the fall.  We are so proud of all the seniors for all their hard work in the program! Senior Project Showcase Today was our second annual ECHS Senior Project Showcase.  The seniors worked all year on their projects and today they spent the day sharing what they did with the younger ECHS students, parents, teachers, and community members.  The students did an excellent job presenting their work!  If you weren't able to make it out here is brief summary of each student's project.
