The recruitment process for the next academic year begins. ECHS staff works with all 11 middle schools to set up times that ECHS can recruit.

ECHS sends information to the middle schools to advertise our new student information nights. We have a group of scholar leaders who go to all 11 middle schools and speak to every 8th grader. On that same night, ECHS scholars and staff hold a parent night for all to attend. 

ECHS also sends out the following:

• A Connect Ed phone, text, and email message to all current 8th grade students to inform them about information night events
• Updates on KISD social media
• Liaise with all middle school counselors and admin to serve as the point of contact for all queries
• Post informational videos on our website
• Hold ZOOM offerings of parent meetings

All interested scholars attend a field trip to our two campuses:

• Ft. Cavazos ECHS (9th/10th)
• CTC ECHS (11th/12th)

Applications are due to the KISD CCMR office. 

• Scholars are informed of their acceptance or wait list for ECHS. 
• Once students are admitted, they must come to the mandatory new student registration night during the second week in May where they do course selection, college (IHE) application to CTC and other necessary paperwork to transition to ECHS. 

*The application is open year-round as we have a high level of mobility being the home of Ft. Cavazos.
