Flashback 40 years to the fall of 1985, when Kim Karsteadt was crowned Homecoming Queen, surrounded by her court of Janie Speaker, Terri Esquibel, and Carleen Sanders.
The halls of ECHS were filled with chatter about the latest music videos on MTV, and the smell of Aquanet lingered in the air as students teased their hair to gravity-defying heights.
The fashion of the time was bold and unapologetically vibrant, with shoulder pads, scrunchies, leg warmers, acid-washed jeans, and oversized blazers defining the era's aesthetic.
On weekends, teens flocked to Silver Wings roller skating rink to glide under the glow of the disco ball, cruised Sonic with radios blasting Wham! and Foreigner, or met up at Showplace III to watch The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on the big screen.
Who will take the crown and represent the spirit and pride of ECHS? Stay tuned to find out as we mark another unforgettable chapter in our school's history! 🎉👑🎶Homecoming Court Royalty will be announced at Thursday's Pep Rally, and Homecoming Queen will be announced at 6:30 pm during Friday's pre-game.

Before the call, students researched what it takes to become a physician and were asked to come up with three thoughtful questions to ask during the meeting. This preparation enabled them to engage meaningfully and make the most of their experience.
This was a fantastic opportunity for the students to gain firsthand knowledge and inspiration directly from those currently pursuing a career in medicine. Thanks to Texas A &M for always reaching out to help our students.
