HIGH SCHOOL NEWS<\/h1><\/div>

A New Face in the High School<\/b><\/span>

\nECS is pleased to announce our new College Counselor, Mrs. Samantha Heredia! We believe that having a dedicated College Counselor is vital to our school’s mission as a college preparatory Christian institution. It ensures that we can offer the ability to meet the guidance and college counseling needs at a higher level, while giving our students more opportunities for individualized attention from our counseling team. Ms. Collum will remain as our School Counselor and will continue to guide, mentor and counsel our students. As the College Counselor, Mrs. Heredia will eventually be taking on the important responsibilities that will significantly contribute to the college readiness of our high school students. Ms. Collum and Mrs. Heredia have been, and will continue to be, working side-by-side during this transitional year. We are thankful that the Lord brought Mrs. Heredia to us to join our high school team!<\/span><\/p>\n

First Quarter….Check!<\/b><\/span>

\nIt’s hard to believe that the first quarter of this school year is in the books! Report cards will be sent out Friday, October 27th.<\/span><\/p>\n

All Things Homecoming<\/b><\/span>

\nHomecoming Week 2023 is this coming week, October 23-October 28. The week is packed with activities and events which will culminate with the Homecoming game on Friday (ECS vs. SFCA), and the Homecoming banquet on Saturday. Homecoming coronation of our Class Princes and Princesses and our Senior King and Queen will be at the Homecoming game on Friday. A few additional items of note are the powderpuff volleyball and football games and our daily dress down themes. All high school students and parents should have received an email from Mrs. Slater containing all of the Homecoming details!<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Trees<\/b><\/span>

\nEach year we have class bonding events for our different grades. This year, we will be having a day trip to Treeumph on November 6th for our Freshmen and on November 10th for our Sophomores. The cost per student is $75, and will include admission, transportation and water. Students should have received an email from Mrs. Castilla with payment information. The payment deadline for both trips is October 26th. This is a favorite among our students….don’t miss out!<\/span><\/p>\n

Attendance Reminders<\/b><\/span>

\nAttendance is VITAL for academic success. Please make sure that your student is in attendance every day, every period, and is ON TIME each school day. As a reminder, students who are absent 10 or more days, excused or unexcused, within a semester, are considered to have excessive absences. Please see the Parent Student Handbook for further details about our attendance policy. For any student benefiting from the Empowerment Scholarship, it is imperative that they adhere to our attendance policy so as not to potentially lose scholarship funds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Staying Informed<\/b><\/span>

\nParents are encouraged to review their student’s progress in Renweb. This is one of the best ways to stay informed and up-to-date with their student’s academics, attendance and behavior records.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
