Now, if you like to write, design, draw, layout, interview, advertise, or take photographs maybe you would be interested in being a part of the newspaper. There will be an informational meeting at lunch, Friday, April 20, in Mrs. Soule's room C102. Come check it out even if you are not 100% sure you want to be a part of it!

Note: All students bringing a guest to prom must have a completed guest pass application signed by an administrator/director of the guest’s school (this signature is not required if guest has graduated from high school) and by the students’ ECHS director (TCP or ILP) before they can purchase tickets. Guest passes and prom packets for ILP students are available in the front office from Ms. Brooks. ILP students need to give their completed prom packet to their teacher of record promptly. The price of the ticket is determined by the date when the completed packet is submitted to the ILP teacher.
