Mission Statement
Our school's mission is to serve an under-served but motivated population of Salem-Keizer students by providing them with an excellent high school academic program while creating a pathway to college classes at Chemeketa Community College.
Description
We are a small school with a large mission of trying to make college a possibility for all. When these students are enrolled at ECHS, they get their college classes for free. That means that they could get their first two years of college, and an AA degree without having to take out any student loans. That is a big reason why our kids work as hard as they do. Many come from families that would not necessarily be able to afford college, and this is how they will be able to achieve their goal of going. Most of our students graduate with both their Diploma and an Associate degree. Our kids are dedicated and hardworking, just like our staff, and they come from all areas of town to attend our program.
