I spent all four year of my high school career at ECHS. you learn a lot about a place when you spend 4 years at it. the best thing about this school is the teachers and staff. I myself never had a bad experience with any member of staff. They always treated me with respect and I feel like they actually cared about me. The sports facilities are not the best. they cant host track meets there because the track is so cracked. the tennis court is the same way. the football field and weight-room are alright. the baseball and softball field are the better facilities. but the basketball court is where they spend most of their money. there is a decent roach problem, I didn't go a week without hearing a friend talking about seeing a roach in the bathroom or cafeteria. yes, I said cafeteria , there are multiple occasions i myself witnessed a roach crawling on the wall or floor of the lunchroom. But overall I really enjoyed every year of attending this school.

I've enjoyed my high school experience so far. The teachers are extremely helpful with trying to help students get prepared for college. I'd like to change one thing, and that would be what they offer for lunch and breakfast, meaning that I wish they could serve a more variety of foods, but overall it is good.
