Our ECHS junior class recently toured Valdosta State University, South Georgia State College on the VSU campus, and Georgia Military College! Students learned about admissions requirements and degree programs while getting a firsthand look at college life, including sharing a meal in the VSU Student Union.
We also had the special treat of seeing some of our ECHS alumni along the way! Former ECHS student Makenzye Spivey surprised us and spoke with the junior class about her experience as a current SGSC student. 💚
This visit is part of the ECHS School Counseling Department’s ongoing college and career readiness efforts to expose students to a variety of postsecondary options throughout high school and help them begin thinking about what comes next.

This week, Biology students stepped into the role of forensic lab scientists as they tested "stomach contents" from a mysterious murder case. Students tested their samples for carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids and analyzed the evidence just like scientists in a forensic lab.
Schedule Change: Monday's Home Varsity softball game has been changed to an Away Varsity Game at Valwood at 4:00.
School pictures will go home this week, and the ordering deadline has been extended until Oct. 2nd.
Our ninth-grade students recently took part in our annual Commitment to Graduate Ceremony. Each student signed a white graduation gown as a symbol of their commitment to graduate high school. When they are seniors, they will vote on a teacher to wear the special gown at their graduation ceremony. They also received a Class of 2030 T-shirt, certificate, and bracelet to remind them of the importance of the commitment they made.
Commitment to Graduate is a high school-wide initiative organized through our School Counseling Department to keep graduation and student success in focus from day one.
A special thank you to Echols Family Connection for sponsoring the gifts and refreshments and helping make this day special for our students!

Today, Biology students became birds! They used different types of “beaks” to demonstrate natural selection. Students collected data, analyzed their results, created graphs, and wrote conclusions based on their evidence.
A fun, hands on way to see how certain traits can give organisms an advantage in their environment!
Which bird will survive?
