We’re in the Top 6! Vote Now To Bring President Obama to Our Graduation

The White House and the Department of Education recently named Environmental Charter School (ECHS) as a finalist in a nationwide competition - for exemplifying the president’s 2020 goal that every high school student will graduate college ready.

From more than 1,000 applicants, ECHS is one of just 6 finalists selected to compete in a run-off voting contest to have the President deliver its 2010 commencement address.
