El Campo’s very own Doc Easter came for a surprise visit to Ms. Easter’s classes. He came to talk about the importance of hydration, working hard towards your goals, and what it means to be a Ricebird! He provided the students with little goodies and Gatorade. Thanks, Doc!

El Campo High School would like to inform parents and community members that, due to the current weather forecast, graduation plans for the Class of 2026 may need to be adjusted. Current forecasts are calling for rain on Thursday and heavier amounts of rain on Friday. As a result, graduation will be held on Thursday, May 21, 2026, as the forecast for Friday appears to be less favorable.

Our goal is to provide the Class of 2026 the opportunity to graduate in Ricebird Stadium, and we will use a timeline and decision-making process that gives us the best opportunity to safely hold the ceremony outdoors.

Any changes to the graduation ceremony location or schedule will be communicated through the El Campo ISD website and district social media accounts.

If weather conditions require the ceremony to be moved indoors, students will be issued 6 tickets for guests due to seating capacity restrictions.

Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and continued support of El Campo High School and the Class of 2026.

NHS and Student Council wrapped up the semester with an amazing Luau-themed Blood Drive! 🌺🩸
Thanks to our incredible students, staff, and community, we had 96 successful donors, helping save over 300 lives!

A special congratulations goes to our high school librarian, Mrs. Shelby Gadeke, who received her “1 Gallon” mug for donating an incredible gallon of blood! 👏❤️

This year, NHS, Student Council, and HOSA worked together to collect 500 total units of blood during the 2025-2026 school year — impacting and saving over 1,500 lives!

Way to go, ECHS! We are so grateful for the support of our students, staff, administration, and community members who continue to make such a positive difference. Together, we are changing lives! 🌟

The Lyford family greatly appreciates everyone who donated at any of the ECHS blood drives this year. During her 2.5-year-long treatment for leukemia, Amelia received over 50 units of blood product. She has since won her battle against leukemia. Though her battle is over, there are hundreds of people needing blood products daily, and it is with your help that people's lives are being saved. ❤️
