  •  

    We have partnered with Anomaly and are now taking orders for senior jerseys through October 16. Please use the link provided to place your order.

     

  • We are also signing seniors up for their senior headshots. The cost is $10. Please see Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Snyder (Choices), or Mrs. Humphrey (ECHS) to sign up. The process is as follows: see your counselor, pay the $10 fee, and you will be given a time, date, and location. Please come to school on that day ready for your photo, and Mrs. Hutmacher and her team will take care of the rest.

  • College-bound students and students planning to attend barber or beauty school attended FAFSA Day on October 6. For those who couldn't attend, we will provide support during College Application Week, October 27–30. Our goal is for all students in this group to complete their FAFSA, submit their college applications, and sign up for the ACT and/or SAT by October 30. Please be prepared that week.

  • Seniors have planned outings for the coming months: Urban Air November 19th and Dave & Buster’s December 17th. A significant amount of the proceeds will go to the Class of 2027, and everyone is welcome.
