Academic Support

Today is the last day of the progress report grading period. The ECHS teachers will have grades calculated and submitted by 3:00pm on Monday. Students are entering the final 6 weeks of school and then finals week. If you are falling behind and need support, please check in with your counselor, Mrs. Mae. Support is available through our School After School (SAS) program every Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00pm.

Need help with a college class? Check out the SCC Tutoring Center in the new library there is a schedule of support times available for a number of college classes. Also, don't forget to see your professors during their in-person or online office hours.

*If your professor's office hours conflict with a high school class please come and see me for an excused pass. If you are struggling, we want to do everything we can to support you.

Speech Contest

The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District in collaboration with Wells Call Injury Lawyers held the 1st annual Speech Contest in which 12 high school Junior and Senior contestants were selected to compete for a chance to earn scholarships. Every year, over 10,000 people die from alcohol and drug-related crashes. The contestants delivered speeches stating why driving under the influence is still an issue and proposed their best solutions. ECHS was well represented last night in this competition with 9 of the 12 contestants from ECHS! Stephanie Choi, Isabella Fortier, Logan Jenkins, Anika Lum, Danielle Murphy, Chris Knight, Daniel Prince, Yazmyn Sims, and Rimsha Syed deliver amazing speeches! They will all be recognized at the FSUSD Board Meeting next week on Thursday at 6:00pm.

Danielle Murphy won 3rd Place receiving a $1,000 scholarship

Yazmyn Sim won 1st Place receiving a $5,000 scholarship

Congratulations to Danielle, Yazmyn, and all the contestants!

Bowling

We are excited to announce our special ECHS bowling event. Through the use of a Wellness Grant, the Student Advisory Council approved our plan to rent the entire Stars Bowlero Bowling Alley in Vacaville. All 40 bowling lanes are reserved for ECHS students of all grade levels. Bowling and shoe rentals will be provided at no cost to the students. Food purchases and arcade games are available if students want to bring money. The event is on Saturday, May 7th. Bowling is free from 11:00am-1:00pm. We will be there to check in students and start the shoe rentals at 10:30am. We ask that students RSVP on the Google Doc we sent out so we know how many students to put per bowling lane.

Students, RSVP by the end of next week (April 29th)

CAASPP

The 11th and 12th graders finished the California Science Test this week. The 12th graders are finished with testing unless they were absent and need to make it up. The 11th graders will start the English testing next week and then the Math testing the following week. We are on a regular class schedule throughout testing. All testing for 11th graders will take place during their College Readiness class time. Students, please continue to bring your Chromebooks to class fully charged and ready for testing.

Penny Wars

We held a grade-level competition back in March in honor of Women's History Month. Students brought in pennies and bills to add to their grade's total donations. Students also brought in nickels, dimes, and quarters to lower other grade levels' totals. The freshman class won the competition. We raised a total of $3,355.55 for SafeQuest Solano which is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing prevention education, advocacy, and intervention services to those affected by domestic violence.

Spirit Week

Prior to Spring Break, we had Spirit Week at ECHS. The Leadership students planned a different theme for each day, concluding with a lunch rally on Friday. Here are some pictures from each day:
