Furthermore, our students may choose to enroll in courses at the Elmore County Technical Center to pursue certications in a wide-variety of technical areas or to take dual enrollment college-level courses. We believe a student-centered approach is the key to increasing motivation and achievement; therefore, teachers utilize technology, collaborative assignments, hands-on experiences, gamication, and other engaging strategies to meet the needs of our students and propel them to success. While academic growth is of utmost importance, we also recognize that emotional, physical, and social development is essential to shaping students into well-rounded, productive members of society. Our Panther Advisory program fosters a personalized and supportive school culture; essentially, the advisory structure is student empowerment at its best. In addition to advisory, our athletic program allows our sta to mentor and develop students through our many sports. ECHS athletic programs are about more than competition; in addition to building muscle, honing athletic skills, and increasing knowledge of the “game,” we aspire to develop work ethic, character, and collegiality. Moreover, our students nd a sense of belonging and shared interests through our many clubs and organizations. Our ultimate goal at ECHS is to empower students to graduate college and/or career ready. After graduation, we shift from our purpose statement to this revered saying: Once a Panther, Always a Panther! We enjoy hearing from past students and celebrating the successes of our graduates. Quite often, alumni return to ECHS to speak to students, intern, teach, or coach because they want to give back to a community that gives so much. In other words, there’s no place like home! #panthernationDistinguishing Characteristics:• Located in a close-knit community anchored by its schools with a family-like atmosphere• Panther Advisory program connects each student with a faculty mentor• Active sports and extra-curricular organizations encourage student participation and growth beyond the classroom walls• Rigorous curriculum includes AP classes, online learning and opportunities to earn college credit• Committed faculty dedicated to nurturing the emotional, academic, social and physical needs of each studentELMORE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL155 N College AvenueEclectic, AL 36024(334) 541-3662elmorecountyhighelmoreal.schoolinsites.comPrincipal | Wes Rogers | wes.rogers@elmoreco.com
