The El Campo Ricebirds and El Campo Ladybirds Soccer teams invite the little athletes from the El Campo Youth Soccer League to join us at tomorrow's game. Admission is free for any athlete who is registered with the Youth Soccer League for this year's season.
The young Athletes will need to arrive at 6:00 pm and will run onto the field before the varsity girls' game. Larry Smith will assist with checking in the children at the gate.
Only athletes receive free admission. Parents and siblings must pay for admission.
Spread the word!
ECMS will administer the statewide TELPAS (English Language Proficiency Assessment) on February 18-19. It is important that your student brings a fully charged Chromebook during these days to complete this test.
Not only did our students take on the ring, but so did some great faculty and staff! We had receptionists, teachers of all grade levels, administrators, occupational therapist, instructional coaches, librarians, and paras all give up their Saturday morning to support the students and exhibit their animals. A big, big thank you for investing in our students in and out of the classroom!

This week, NHS students celebrated National School Counselors Week by creating heartfelt gratitude cards for our amazing high school counselors - Mrs. Coghlan, Mrs. Kallina, and Mrs. Terrazas.
From encouraging words to personal thank-you notes, each card was a small reminder of the big impact our counselors make every single day. Thank you for listening, supporting, and guiding us to be our best—today and always!
Congratulations to the 2026 HLSR School Art Winner from El Campo Middle School, Brooke Tupa! She won Best of Show with her piece, Turquoise Beauty, a Prismacolor and watercolor.

Students teamed up with peers from other districts to design, create, and market a product addressing a real-world challenge faced by the nuclear power industry. In just a day and a half, our students researched their problem, collaborated across teams, designed and built a prototype, and presented their solution to a panel of judges.
We’re incredibly proud to share that 3 of the 5 Power Up members from El Campo earned awards!
John and Avery's team took home 1st place, and Kristy’s team earned 2nd place.
Outstanding work by these students, your creativity, teamwork, and innovation truly shined!
