Congratulations to the Kindergarten and 5th Grade students who “graduated” today from ECS!



Thanks to all the families who attended tonight’s summer school kickoff at the elementary. We’d also like to say a huge thanks to Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Kiteley, Ms. Miller, Mrs. Maki, and Mrs. Sponable for planning the event and an equally big thanks to Mrs. Sponable and Communities in Schools for providing the food.


Thanks to Coach Cooper for grilling up some steaks for the baseball team after tonight’s game. Unfortunately the boys lost to Glen Lake, but they still had a great season, including winning the first MHSAA District in 18 years. GO LANCERS!!!


Romaine lettuce was ready for harvest from the school’s hoop house.


Congratulations to the ECS Boys Baseball team on capturing the MHSAA District Title today in Central Lake. The Lancers defeated Central Lake in the semifinal game and then ousted Bellaire in the finals. The team next takes on Glen Lake in the Regional Semifinal on June 9 in Glen Lake. GO LANCERS!


Congratulations to the ECS Class of 2021.
