Early College High School - Home of the Owls!

Seniors and Senior parents, ECHS will hold a FAFSA night at ECHS Feb 7, 2024 (next Wednesday). We will do our best to explain the process surrounding Senior's next steps after graduation as far as financial aide is concerned and to assist with the online portion. We hope to see all Seniors and their parents who have not already applied for FAFSA there!

Today or tomorrow your student should be bringing home an opt out form. This only needs to be returned by February 5th if you choose for your student to not participate in responding to 2 surveys about their teachers chosen randomly.

Hey Owl Family! It's getting chilly out there! Our Booster Club is gathering warm drinks for our teaching staff. Please help keep our teachers warm by donating coffee and supplies for the teachers lounge. It can be grounds, packets or k-cups. Any flavor, any brand works. Flavored creamers, hot cocoa, and apple cider are much appreciated as well. Thanks for helping show them we appreciate & love them!

The junior student of the month is Daniel Tierrablanca. His teachers say he has worked extremely hard and made excellent grades at TJC. This next semester he will be taking classes on his non-TJC days to complete an upper level Math course. Great attitude. So willing to help others. Congratulations Daniel!

please join us in celebrating our so very deserving Teacher of the Year, Ms. Lisa Ellis!
