The 2024-2025 Nash-Rocky Mount ECHS application will open on Monday, January 8, 2024. The flyer below has important information and dates. Visit our website by clicking on the ABOUT US tab to view more information on how to apply to Nash-Rocky Mount ECHS!

The most recent federal data show that in the 2020-21 school year, at least 14.7 million students nationwide were chronically absent. This means that chronic absence has almost doubled from the more than 8 million students, pre-Covid-19, who were missing so many days of school that they were academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences, and suspensions—can translate into students having difficulty learning to read by the third grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school.
