Principal's Message: Welcome

Welcome to El Cerrito High School, home of the Gauchos! It is an honor to serve the students, staff, and community of this wonderfully diverse school located in Northern California’s Bay Area. ECHS is a proud academic community with a strong Advanced Placement program and three growing academy programs (The Information Technology Academy, The Media Academy, and The Green Technology Academy). ECHS has a well-deserved strong academic reputation that has been nurtured by an incredible teaching and support staff. Our beautiful new campus provides an excellent venue for a vast array of activities, athletics, and the arts. El Cerrito High School consistently sends students to the top public and private colleges and universities across the country because the school provides a rigorous curriculum. ECHS athletic teams are consistently competitive and we offer a wide variety of athletics for all student interests. ECHS has a new state of the art theater that arguably houses some of the best Bay Area High School band and dance performances. One of the most important aspects of any high school’s success is parent involvement. ECHS parents volunteer an incredible amount of time serving the school in a variety of capacities. This tremendous labor of love is very much appreciated by everyone associated with ECHS. Again, welcome to the El Cerrito High School home page. We trust that you find the links associated helpful to your search. Go Gauchos!  David Luongo

Subject: Final Homeroom Lesson this Wednesday,  5/16
On Wednesday, May 16th, El Cerrito will have its final Homeroom lesson of the year.  Our monthly Homeroom lessons often serve the function of helping students develop an educational plan and reflect on their educational progress.  This Wednesday’s homeroom lesson will be an opportunity for students to weigh in on the larger school-wide plan for our next five years. 
 
Students will learn about the self-study ECHS has begun this year in preparing for our accreditation visit, and students will express their own opinions regarding the preliminary conclusions we have drawn.  Student opinions and observations are critical as we continue our work toward making El Cerrito High School better serve them. 
 
Because of the homeroom lesson, the schedule will be slightly different on 5/16.  Please note that block two will begin at 9:20am.
