Finals Schedule
We are on a special schedule for high school finals next week on Wednesday, Dec. 15, and Thursday, Dec. 16. Lunch will be served after school on both days in the cafeteria.
*If students have a college final exam that conflicts with a high school class or final we have asked them to contact their high school teachers and we will excuse them and work with them to make up what they missed.

RHS Library
Students are often so busy with high school and college classes that they don't have time to just read for pleasure. With 3 weeks off, winter break is a great time to read a book for fun. RHS Librarian, Traci Pratt has sent us some recommendations. Students can email her and check a book out for the break.

Deck the Doors
We had some creative and interesting doors this year! Congratulations to Mrs. Pratt's 4th Period class for winning! Mrs. Krutz's 4th Period Class was a close second. We also love our office door and decorations, thank you Leadership. Great job everyone!
Canned Food and Toy Drive
We want to thank all the students and families that donated to our Canned Food and Toy Drive! I don't have a final count yet but there were definitely a few thousand cans and toys. ECHS really supports the community!
ECHS Wellness Week
Wellness Week was a hit! Each day we had a different lunch event put on by the following groups. Monday- BSU, Tuesday- Academic Decathlon, Wednesday- GSA, and Thursday- Key Club and Honor Society. Today we concluded the week with an after-school winter event put on by Leadership. Approximately 150 students stayed after school to hang out with each other, listen to music, and build gingerbread houses.
Counselor Corner
With the conclusion of the Ghosted sessions, here are Social/Emotional Supports available for our ECHS students.
Wellness Counseling
What is it?
In partnership with JFK University, PsyD or MFT (Marriage and Family Therapy) recent graduates or current students of JFK University provide brief (6-8 sessions) mental health therapy. The therapists will be supervised by JFK faculty as they accrue hours toward licensure. These services are FREE and first-come, first-served based on availability and appropriateness of the issues to the type of services provided. Services are available when classes are in-session.
How can Wellness Counselors help?
Wellness counselors provide brief (6-8 sessions) mental health therapy. These are some of the topics they can help with: test anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, abuse, anxiety, depression, conflict/exploration of identity, substance use, grief/loss, and more.
Wellness Therapy Request Process
- Due to the COVID 19 physical distancing protocols, Wellness Counselors are unavailable to see students in-person at this time. They will continue to see existing and new clients through online video sessions.
- Requests for therapy are submitted online through a secure portal.
- After submitting the request form, it will be reviewed by JFK Wellness Counselors who will contact the student directly to assess needed services and set up appointments (due to the nature of brief therapy, there may be a wait time, which the therapist will discuss with any potential client).
**Please note, wellness counseling is NOT for immediate crisis situations. If you feel you are in immediate crisis, please call police services or the resources below**
