It is with great joy that we share some wonderful news with our school community. Today, we are excited to announce that Tara McMillan is the recipient of the 2025–2026 Excellence in Catholic Education Award.

This award recognizes educators who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to Catholic education and who live out the mission of forming students in faith, knowledge, and service. Tara exemplifies these qualities each day through her dedication to our students, her witness to the Catholic faith, and her commitment to nurturing the minds, hearts, and spirits of those entrusted to her care.

We are incredibly blessed to have Principal Tara McMillan as part of our ECCS family and are proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition.
