Eighth Grade Graduation Marks End/Beginnings

One hundred and forty six students said goodbye to their middle school years on Friday, May 22, as the annual 8th Grade Graduation ceremony was held at ECHS. The gym was full of parents, grandparents, family, and friends as Principal Brandon Prunty addressed the crowd and distributed awards and diplomas at the gathering.
