ECHS and Rise Celebrated Black History Month yesterday with their 8th annual trivia bowl! Everyone showed up and out and good food and fun was had by all!
Tomorrow is a "B" day. Please remember, no food orders as this will be a regular school day. Please plan accordingly.
Tomorrow, 3/1 will be a "B" day. Juniors and Seniors without classes at ECHS should not come unless attending the Senior trip to UT Arlington. "B" day Juniors and Seniors must be at ECHS.
The ECHS Teacher of the Month is Mrs. Tucker.
Mrs. Tucker has taken our participation in UIL from non-existent to a dominating force. Her success and the success of the students she leads is a great example to the outside world of the greatness that is ECHS. She and the students she brings with her are great ambassadors of our campus. In addition to UIL, Mrs. Tucker recently took on the Stock Market challenge and led our students well in that opportunity.
Mrs. Tucker is always willing to learn new technologies and strategies and employ them in her classroom. She finds ways to engage her students with the material and is extremely knowledgeable in her content. She is loved by her students and is very understanding when students need grace.
