ECHS Office The ECHS office is open here at Solano College, if you ever need anything please come by.  We know distance learning is a challenge so if we can help with tech issues, get you a book or any needed school supplies, or even print or scan a document for you we are here to help.  We wear our masks and social distance.  We can also meet you in the parking lot if you need to switch out a Chromebook or pick up a book.  Feel free to call ahead 707-862-7158 or email Susan Harris at susanharr@fsusd.org. Our CAL/OSHA COVID-19 School Site Plan is on our website at  www.fsusd.org/earlycollege SA Forms/Spring 2021 On Friday afternoon, I turned in all of the Special Admissions forms that were submitted this week.  We are asking the students to log in to their MySolano accounts next week to make sure they are cleared for the correct classes and that there is hold on their account.  If there are any issues, we have the month of November to get it corrected before we register on December 3rd

College Class Registration for Spring 2021 There has been a delay with the SCC class schedule coming out.  We expected it to have already, but we now expect it to be released sometime next week.  To ensure everything is processed in time, we have asked that students turn in Special Admissions forms now and be cleared for extra courses just in case.  By getting cleared for extra courses ahead to time, students will have plenty of options to pick from once the course schedule is released and we are able to register on December 3.   When we do register for courses on December 3rd, Mrs. Mae and I always recommend quality over quantity when it comes to a student's schedule.  College classes are tough and with the challenges of distance learning, we really want to make sure student's aren't taking on too much.  The requirement of ECHS is that every student have at least 1 college class for 3 units and no more than 11.5 college units each semester.  Students do not have to ever ta

Distance Learning Last night, our Governing Board voted to continue in distance learning until they reconsider the decision at the January 14, 2021 meeting.  This means that we will begin second semester also in Distance Learning.  This was not an easy decision and we know many of our staff and students really wanted to start getting back to campus sooner.  This morning, I joined Mrs. Krutz in the 12th grade College Readiness classes to talk with our seniors.  They are especially disappointed that their senior year is online.  My message to them and all ECHS students is that we are working extra hard to make this the best year possible.  We are staying positive and focusing on all the great things we are able to do.  I am so proud of the ECHS students and staff for their hard work and determination.  We are not letting distance learning bring us down but rather thriving and continuing to make ECHS a premier learning environment for all!

 We are Mustangs!  We are Falcons!  We are Pegasus! Early College High School students are Mustangs, Falcons, and Pegasus.  Our first graduation class (class of 2018) came up with the idea of the Pegasus to represent our program.  However, ECHS is not a standalone school.  We are a program of Rodriguez High School.  Many of our students play on Rodriguez High School sports teams, attend after school activities and dances, and are proud to also be Mustangs! Every ECHS student is also a Solano College Falcon.  Our students take SCC college classes, have an opportunity to join college clubs, and (in a non pandemic year) spend a great deal of time on the SCC campus.   Put the Mustang and Falcon together and you have the Pegasus!  If you want to show off your Pegasus pride, we have a limited edition special shirt that is available now through October 16th.  If you would like to order the shirt, here is the link below.  The shirts will arrive at the end of the month and then we will have a d
