High School April Newsletter (21–22)

Dear High School Families,

Spring Break is almost here, and I hope you have a relaxing time off with your family. It is an excellent time to refresh and get outside for a hike. As an avid hiker, one of my favorite places to hike in the area is Dark Hollow Woods near Oakmont and several other places throughout the Pittsburgh region. Let me know if you need a good hiking location!

Have a wonderful and safe Spring Break, and be sure to get tested for COVID-19 prior to returning to school using one of the tests that the district will supply.

Have a great weekend,

Cornell McCree

What's new at the High School?

Make sure you review the ECHS Program of Studies and take a quick look at Mr. McCann’s communication to learn more about adopting a tree for the 150th Arbor Day celebration, volunteering, and more!
