Student Shout-Out! 🌟

These two were nominated for a shoutout for doing something that may seem simple, but is actually a HUGE life skill: checking their EECS Gmail regularly! 📧

Staying on top of emails, communicating, and keeping up with important information are skills that will serve you well in school, work, and beyond.

Way to go, Romeo and Ian! Keep up the great work!🦅

What does true student support look like? It looks like having a mentor in your corner every step of the way.
The EECS Mentor Program is designed to ensure no student falls through the cracks. From monitoring academic progress to celebrating personal successes, our mentors connect with students multiple times a week to keep them on the fast track to graduation.
Give your student the individualized support they deserve. 🦅⭐

Graduate Spotlight: Lola Jennings

Lola's journey is a great reminder that having the right support can make all the difference. Through EECS, she was able to work at her own pace, stay focused on her goals, and reach the finish line without feeling overwhelmed.

We're proud that our staff could be part of her success story by providing the guidance and encouragement she needed along the way!

Student Shoutout 🌟

A huge shout out to two of our students who logged the highest number of minutes in their classes during the two weeks BEFORE school even officially started! One student logged an incredible 17 HOURS in just ONE WEEK!

Way to lead by example and start the school year STRONG! 👏
