Hey there, ECHS!
We are six weeks away from the end of the school year. ECHS students are six weeks away from being 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, and I am thrilled to celebrate this stepping stone with each of you. I am confident that students’ hard work now will prepare them to tackle next year’s challenges. In the words of Oprah Winfrey, “Doing the best at the moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”
Let’s finish the school year strong together!
Finally, don’t forget that with warmer weather comes more outdoor learning time. Students are encouraged to wear sensible shoes, carry a water bottle, and use sunscreen.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Abriana Leeper
Acting High School Principal
