The Education Center School

This morning, our school joined thousands of others across the nation for See You at the Pole®, a global day of student-led prayer and reflection that began in 1990 with a small group of Texas teenagers. What started as a simple gathering has now grown into an annual event observed by millions of students around the world.
Our students, teachers, parents and friends met at the flagpole to lift up our school in a positive, prayerful way — asking for peace, health, and wellness in our community. Several students took on speaking roles, which was especially meaningful since many of them are usually hesitant about public speaking. Their confidence, leadership, and willingness to share their voices made the morning a powerful experience for everyone present. We followed the experience by sharing breakfast and fellowship - a special thank you to all of the parents who helped us with this event!

We are beyond psyched about the election of ECS 2025-2026 officers tomorrow! We have some totally awesome students who have tossed their hats into the ring for various positions. The suspense will finally be over on Friday, September 12th when announcements are made during our Pizza Party! Stay tuned.
