ECHS 9th graders toured NC Wesleyan University on Thursday, September 21st! They met Dr. Duff, the President of NCWU, and toured Hardees Student Union, the Elizabeth B. Pearsall Library, and other academic buildings on campus! Scholars were able to see what life on a college campus is like from our tour guides. They learned about the opportunities NCWU offers to their students. We are proud of our 9th graders for showing what it means to be an Eagle!
The next campus tour is for our 10th graders who will be visiting NC State University on October 19th! #FlyHighEaglePride
Eagle Families: Don't forget about the opportunities NCPS is offering to our scholars and you!

Good evening, Eagle Families!
This is Principal McGeachy. I hope everyone fared well during the storm this weekend. Last week, our scholars in ENG II and Biology took their state benchmark assessments. The results of those assessments will be available via the Parent Portal in the next day or so. Also occurring last week, our 9th-grade scholars had an enjoyable visit to the campus of NC Wesleyan University, and the university staff were very complimentary of how our scholars conducted themselves. Lastly, we will work on our first club meetings for scholars this Friday. Thanks for your continued support, and enjoy your evening.

Eagle Families,
This is Principal McGeachy with some brief announcements. First, I want to thank those parents who made it to AVID Family Night last Thursday. We had a fantastic turnout, and our staff enjoyed meeting with families and scholars. If you haven’t already heard, Dr. Ellis and the board of education have determined that our scholars will not have to make up the school day that was missed on August 31st. Lastly, please don’t hesitate to contact your scholar’s teachers with questions regarding recent Progress Reports. Thanks for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.

Don't forget tonight from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM is our first AVID Family Night for this school year. We hope you can join us.
Eagle Families,
I have been notified by transportation that a driver has not been secured for Bus 214 for tomorrow's route. Again, for those scholars who ride Bus 214 and cannot attend due to the lack of transportation, their absence will be "Excused," but they are still responsible for making up any missed work. Teachers will make assignments available to them via Canvas. Scholars taking college courses will need to communicate with their professors for missed work. We will work through the College Success Coach, Mr. Foster, to notify NCC professors about the absences due to bus transportation. Thank you for your patience.
Principal McGeachy
