The 2012-2013 school year is now behind us … and what an experience it was! We had such a great year with amazing students, exciting events, extraordinary clubs, and so much more. In this issue of ECOT Magazine, we review what happened last year and look to the future. Review these stories and photos. What events did you attend? Who do you know in the photos? Can you find yourself within the pages or on the cover? We’re proud of our students and everything that occurred last year. But we’re even more thrilled about what’s to come! The 2013-2014 school year will be here before we know it, and we’re working on providing new and very exciting opportunities. We’ll start things off with 10 Family Nights peppered throughout the state, so we can meet as many students and families as possible! Of course, that doesn’t even scratch the surface of what we’ve got in store for everyone. Students and families should know we’ll have exciting news soon about events, clubs, and so much more! We’re also excited to announce everyone will soon get their first peek at our new mascot! You’ll be seeing this friendly face at all sorts of events. Stay tuned! The first day of school for the 2013-2014 school year is Friday, August 23, 2013 for high school students and Monday, August 26, 2013 for students in grades K-8.
