Dear ECCHS Faculty, Staff, Students, and Community:
It is my pleasure to welcome you back to the 2023-2024 school year. I am honored to return as Principal of ECCHS. Over the past year, my family and I have enjoyed building strong ties in the community through work, church, recreation, and other activities. I look forward to continuing to develop more connections within our school and community.
We have hired several new teachers this year that will be wonderful additions to our current school staff. We will give maximum effort to improve and get better each and every day. We will push our students to excel in academics, fine arts, extra-curricular organizations, and athletics. We will do this by showing up, working hard, and holding each other accountable. We will all work together to meet the needs of our students to best prepare them to be successful in life after high school.
Every student that graduates from ECCHS will take with them into their college or career pursuits a firm understanding of respect, honor, character, and service to others. Our students are exceptional, and we hope that every one of them discovers and embraces their true calling over the course of their four years with us.
I look forward to a great year partnering with our students, parents, and community as we carry on the traditions of the Big Blue! Please know that I am here to serve you, and my door is always open.

Principal ECCHS
As Assistant Principal at ECCHS, my goal is to help all students get the most out of their high school experience. We want to provide our students with a world class learning environment regardless of his or her desired path. Go Devils!
As Career, Technical, and Agriculture Education Director, my goal is to work to build a bridge between our school and community in providing the most relevant technical curriculum and career learning experiences for our students. Developing these partnerships with our local businesses and postsecondary groups is instrumental in giving our ECCHS students focus for their educational goals, relevance in their learning, as well as preparing them to be knowledgeable consumers.
As Assistant Principal, I am committed to the process of developing and maintaining a safe learning environment for students as well as fostering supportive and collaborative exchanges with staff members. My goal is to facilitate meaningful two-way communication with students and staff to promote respect for educational experiences that prepare students for success in school as well as in the community. It is my hope that students will develop and preserve Blue Devil Pride!
As Assistant Principal at ECCHS, my goal is to develop young adults that will be productive in the real world. “Give me a fish and I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish and I will eat for a lifetime.” I take this quote to heart when I am teaching or leading young adults. Here at ECCHS, we want to challenge each and every student to achieve their level. Don’t settle for anything less, you can do great things. I believe in you.
