I have some exciting news to share. ECHS received two grants this school year. The first grant was awarded from the MISD Education Foundation. This grant will help with providing digital cameras for yearbook and additional tech services for the 11th and 12th grade classrooms. Please congratulate Mrs. Her for writing this grant. We also were awarded a grant from the American Heart Association. Our school will receive resources to assist with CPR, First Aid, and AED training. This is super exciting for our campus. Please congratulate Mrs. Meek who is the sponsor over the ECHS Heart Club and assisted with applying for this grant.
