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!

As part of a community service project, ECHS NHS students collected and donated more than 100 bags of dog and cat food to support the Wharton County SPOT organization. This service initiative was a reminder of the power of teamwork and generosity. NHS students are learning that leadership isn't just about academic excellence- it's about service, empathy, and giving back to our community in meaningful ways. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to this effort!

El Campo High School Power Up was honored to be invited to the Texas A&M Aggie Invent Jr. competition in College Station! El Campo was one of only six schools selected to participate in this intensive engineering and design challenge.
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!
