Environmental Charter High School Graduates 2010
It is that time of year again when we send our graduating seniors off on the next leg of their journey of exploration and accomplishment. Our graduates from the Environmental Charter High School (ECHS) are moving on to attend colleges and universities all over the country. 92% of graduating seniors were accepted at 4-year colleges. Some have won full-ride scholarships from College Match, POSSE Foundation and other sponsors.
In addition to their individual accomplishments, this graduating class is special at ECHS for several reasons. Notably, this class has fulfilled our expanded environmental and college preparatory curriculum, which includes the addition of our award-winning Green Ambassadors program and an innovative SAT Prep program.
Not only have they completed our rigorous set of coursework, including four years of math and science, but these students have also inspired thousands of other youths, businesses, community members and leaders across the nation to care more about "being green."
Our graduates are full of passion and individualism. This year, they captured the hearts of many across the U.S. as they demonstrated their drive to become successful and thoughtful citizens of our community by participating in the President’s Race to the Top Commencement Challenge. These kids are not just going off to college, they are poised to make a positive impact on our nation.
The education and preparation ECHS has given them has been possible thanks to the generous financial and in-kind help of our sponsors, partners and supporters like you. As our Anniversary Gala celebration in November approaches, we hope you’ll continue supporting our extraordinary mission.
