El Campo High School and La Grange High School will participate in a scrimmage on August 16, 2024, with all proceeds to be donated to the THSCEF Benevolence Fund. This day has become known as OUR DAY TO SHINE.

To date over 1,165 schools have participated in OUR DAY TO SHINE and have raised over $721,000.00. The THSCEF has paid over $641,000.00 to athletes and coaches in need.
The scrimmage will be at 7:00 pm and the public is invited to attend. @THSCACoaches


Parents and their 9th Graders,
We are excited to welcome you all to freshman orientation tomorrow. This is not a come-and-go event. Below you will find the order of events for orientation.
*Students will check in at tables by alpha split in the courtyard in front of A building from 1:00-1:30. Keep in mind it will take the full 30 minutes to check in the whole 9th-grade class, so please do not arrive at 1:30.
*Parents and students will report to the auditorium after they have checked in for a welcome by ECHS Principal, Mr. Fleener to begin at 1:30.
*Following the welcome, students will begin rotations. There will be four rotations at 20 minutes each:
- Library – Chromebook checkout
- Cafeteria – Schedule Pick-up
- SLH – Student Life
- Campus Tours
*Parents will remain in the auditorium where our technology professional will deliver a presentation on accessing skyward and helping parents get connected. Students may leave after they have completed their last rotation.
***Parents, if you cannot attend, please sign a Chromebook Form you received by email and send it with your child. You may also sign and email the form to lmorton@ricebirds.net *** Please print legibly, so she knows which student the form belongs to. - ECHS Team

What an amazing Convocation 2024! Steve Gilliland had us rolling with laughter and pumped up for the epic year ahead! Let's enjoy the ride, Ricebirds! #ricebirdnation @stevegspeaks


Ms. Kacer and eight students participated in a two-day Mini Med camp at Texas A&M University this summer.
On Day 1, they visited the health schools on campus, attended a hands-only CPR class, practiced suturing, and had a night out at the Texas A&M Rec center.
Day 2 involved hands-on training with a sonograph and creating a clay model to learn about the heart's anatomy. The camp concluded with a panel discussion featuring healthcare professionals and students from various fields like pharmacy, nursing, dentistry, medical school, admissions, and an MD.
We are so thankful to @Texas A&M University for inviting us to attend!
