 Finals Week


We are down to the end of the semester.  Some of the high school class finals took place this week in an effort to stagger the finals so the students didn't have all of their high school and college finals on the same day.  This has been a difficult semester with being unable to be together in person, but I am so proud of the students and staff for their hard work.  Four more days until we are off for 3 weeks.  Let's finish strong!


We are on a special finals schedule next week on Wednesday and Thursday.  If any students have a conflict due to a live college final exam, they need to let their high school teacher know right away so we can make accommodations.


Here is the Finals Schedule:


Wednesday, 12/16

1st Period 8:00-9:15

3rd Period 9:30-10:45

5th Period 11:00-12:15


Thursday, 12/17

2nd Period 8:00-9:15

4th Period 9:30-10:45

6th Period 11:00-12:15


Friday, 12/18

 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.
