  • 2020 ECHS Prom

    ECHS Prom 2020 is scheduled for April 18th at the Hyatt Harborside ballroom. 

    Students may have pictures taken at 5:30p.m.  We allow pictures to be taken early so those students with dinner reservations have the option to get pictures before dining. 

    • Prom doesn’t officially begin until 7:00 and ends at 11:30p.m. 
    • Students who check into prom at 7:00 are required to stay until the end of prom.  If students choose to leave before the prom ends, they will not be allowed reentry.
    • ALL juniors and seniors of Effingham County High School must pay their prom dues in order to attend (even if their date is a student at ECHS and has paid their dues).
    • Students bringing dates that are not students at this school must complete a prom date approval form available at the time of receiving invitations and pay a $20.00 guest fee.
    • Dates cannot be over 21 years old or be in middle school.
    • Invitations will go out in March.  We will announce when we begin handing them out (during student’s lunches).
    • Mrs. Bland will be collecting money for dues.

    February we will have a special on prom dues.  Dues will be $60.00.

mission & vision

  •  
    Our Mission
    As a community of learners, in cooperation with stakeholders, our mission is to provide rigorous and relevant instruction in a safe environment to enable all students to obtain a high school diploma as a foundation for post-secondary success
     
     
    A note from our Principal
    What really matters is not so much what students at Effingham County High School walk away with in their hands, but how many sparks we ignite in their hearts. There’s no doubt students want inspiration more than they want stuff. The caring faculty member, not the content, determines whether students at our school walk away ignited or extinguished. Our faculty understands that the influence we have on children is powerful. Be it positive or negative, it is lasting. Read more
