Please take a moment to read the message shared by SFA leadership regarding an important ECHL update.
The ECHL has been a significant part of my life and professional journey. I have had the privilege of being connected to this program in many ways — as an SFA alumna, student, staff member, leader, and parent. Each experience has deepened my appreciation for the dedication, passion, and commitment that make the ECHL such a special place.
I recognize this announcement brings many emotions for families, staff, students, alumni, and community members. I want our families to know that our dedicated staff remains committed to providing high-quality care, support, and learning experiences for our children throughout this process.
The ECHL has always been grounded in our commitment to children, families, and our community. Honesty, integrity, respect, and compassion are core values of our program and guide our work each day.
As we move forward, I ask that we continue to communicate with kindness, respect, and understanding.
Thank you to every child, family, staff member, student, alum, and community partner who has been part of the ECHL story. We appreciate your continued support and the many ways you have contributed to the heart of this program.
