ECHS OWL Update

Mission Statement

Our ECHS Owls are taught to have H.O.P.E.--faith in the premise that they can create OPPORTUNITY and a better future through EFFORT, HARD WORK, and PERSONAL COURAGE. This idea of H.O.P.E. is woven into the fabric of our ECHS family.

Greetings ECHS Community!

Our delegation attended the Student Caucus where they heard from Representative Gina Hinojosa, a student panel and a panel of legislative staffers on a wide range of topics as they related to public education. They marched with students, parents and educators from across Texas to the Capitol Building where the speakers included Representative James Talarico and Senator Nathan Johnson among others. Our delegates had lunch with other delegations from RRISD's Council of PTAs before attending a brief meeting with Representative John Bucy III.

Vote for the Round Rock ISD 2026-27 School Calendar before March 5

Feb 25, 2025

The Round Rock ISD calendar committee made up of district and campus staff and parents from each learning community, has created two draft academic calendar options for the 2026-27 school year.

2026-27 Option A Calendar

2026-27 Option B Calendar

Before bringing the calendar committee’s recommendation to the Board of Trustees, the district is surveying families, staff, and students to gather their preferences between Option A and Option B of the proposed academic calendar.

The calendar survey closes on Wednesday, Mar. 5. One response per person is recorded.

The Board of Trustees will review the calendar committee’s recommendations and the community’s feedback before deciding which draft of the academic calendar to adopt. Survey participants can submit their feedback in English or Spanish.

The differences between the calendars involve the first and last days of school, the placement of student holidays/staff professional development days and YOU days in October 2025 and February 2026.
