Mission

Our ECHS Owls are taught to have H.O.P.E.–faith in the premise that they can create OPPORTUNITY and a better future through EFFORT, HARD WORK and PERSONAL COURAGE. This idea of H.O.P.E. is woven into the fabric of our ECHS family.

Student Support

Students are taught study methods and organizational strategies to help them boost their academic skills. All core classes are rigorous Pre-AP and dual credit courses. Students will be challenged with a meaningful course of study and real world applications. Further student support is conducted through study halls, advisory, after school tutorials and counseling services.
