Eagle Families, This is Principal McGeachy with a few announcements as we head into week 3 of the 2023-24 school year. First, continue to remind your scholars to check their school email accounts for important information from our school counselor and teachers. If your scholar is enrolled in college courses, it is equally important for them to check their college email accounts. Secondly, a reminder that parents picking up scholars at dismissal should continue to park while waiting for their scholar rather than forming a car line. Thirdly, a huge "thank you" to the members of the Academic Booster Club for providing breakfast to our staff last Friday. Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated. Lastly, please check our website for other updates related to our school and your scholar. Thank you for your continued support and enjoy the rest of your evening.

Good Morning, Eagle Families! A reminder that today is an early dismissal day, and scholars will be dismissed at 1:00 PM. Parents picking up scholars from the D. Building parking lot are asked to park while waiting rather than forming a car line. This will increase safety in the area. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

All schedule changes have been made. Please check your final schedule to make sure: * You do not have classes you have already taken *You are not in a class twice *You do not have a schedule conflict Please Note: I can not change schedules after today!!!!!! Please email me ASAP if you have concerns about your schedule.

Eagle Families, This is Principal McGeachy with an update. Today, we conducted a practice lockdown drill with the assistance of the Nash Co. Sheriff's Dept. All staff and scholars followed the appropriate procedures.

Hello ECHS Seniors and Juniors, Please check your emails. Mrs. Sweet just sent out the spreadsheet for you to sign up for 5-year plan meetings.

Good evening, Eagle Families! This is Principal McGeachy. We have completed the first week of school, and now our scholars are about to enter their second week. I am pleased with the manner in which our scholars conducted themselves as they adjusted to their academic routines, and I think they all enjoyed themselves during Friday’s Celebration on the Lawn. Here are your reminders for the upcoming week: 1. In accordance with state guidance, we will be conducting emergency drills in the upcoming days. These drills are intended to ensure that our staff and students are prepared in the unlikely event that an emergency should arise and include a fire drill, bus evacuation drill, tornado drill, and lockdown drill. 2. With the help of our scholars, we have created a demonstration video that depicts the use of the Evolv weapons detection security system. You may recall that the district shared information about this system last week. The video has been posted on our school’s website. 3. I encourage parents and guardians to sign up for Parent Portal so you can keep up with your scholar’s grades and attendance in PowerSchool. Also, don’t forget to download the NCPS app to stay abreast of important information related to our school. 4. This week, traffic on campus will be more congested based on continued road construction on Old Carriage Road combined with the start of Nash Community College classes on Tuesday. Please continue to visit our web page and use the NCPS app to get important updates on your scholar. Enjoy your evening!

Happy Friday Eagle Families! Don't forget that we dismiss today at 1:00 pm. We hope you had a wonderful first week of school. Enjoy your weekend!

📣 Attn: All middle & high school guardian(s), parent(s), & students! Some changes are on the horizon with the new Evolv Technology + a single entry point to your school. Our dedicated team and your school's administration have spent the summer perfecting maps & directions to ensure a smooth & effortless process. While adjustments may be needed, we'll navigate this transition together and make it a success! Your School Will be Updating You Soon!
