Empowering Excellence Charter School

Happy Summer from EECS!

We want to wish all of our students, families, and supporters a fun, safe, and relaxing summer! We are so proud of all the hard work and accomplishments this year.

Please be patient with staff over the summer, as majority will also be enjoying some time off. Staff will return in August and get back to enrollments and requests as soon as possible!

If you would like to continue working on classes over the summer, you are more than welcome to. Summer work is completely optional.

Have an amazing summer, and we’ll be reaching out to kick off the 26-27 year soon! The first day of school is August 28th, 2026.
