My office is located in Building 100 Room #147.  I look forward to being on campus so that I am able to interact with the students and faculty on a daily basis.

On Monday we honored all the students at ECHS who made the honor roll with 3.5 GPAs or higher, along with the students that have perfect attendance.  Students received their academic and attendance awards at lunch along with a frozen yogurt treat.  I want to thank the three booster clubs (Athletic Boosters, PTSO, and Music Boosters) that donated towards the frozen yogurts purchased for RHS and ECHS students.  Students who made honor roll for their 3rd semester earned their Academic Letters.  Congratulations students!  Keep up the hard work! On Tuesday, Major Randy Hartt, from the Salvation Army came by to drop off our Bell Ringers Trophy.  ECHS will definitely be participating next year and we plan to collect the most money again to support our community and keep this trophy at Solano College. I am pleased to announce the decision to bring two additional RHS teachers over to ECHS next school year. Jamilah Whiteside and Lisa Turge...

I visited one of the College Readiness classes today and was very impressed with what I observed.  The ECHS students were working together in groups reviewing the material they had learned this week in both their high school and college classes.  The tutorials have been an opportunity for students to prepare for their exams, work on their collaboration skills, ask and answer high level questions, and learn to teach material to their peers.  Great work this week!

I am so proud of the ECHS students!  The Harry Potter musical the students put on at lunch was well done and super fun.  It was wonderful to see pretty much the entire ECHS student body in the audience. What a fun way to spend the lunch period!  I hope everybody enjoys the long weekend.  

The FSUSD School Board meeting on 2/9/17 was really exciting for Early College High School.  Ms. Williamson was honored as the ECHS Teacher of Year.  Congratulations Ms. Williamson! ECHS was also honored for participating in, "In It to Ring It."  ECHS participated along with multiple other FSUSD schools and together we raised  $2,898.48  for our community!
