“At ECP our scholars are safe, happy, and successful because we focus on relationships.

In addition to offering a rigorous academic experience, we’re having fun! Parties and pep assemblies that build community and celebrate student successes happen every month. We take field trips and cultural trips to museums, theaters, farms, and other venues. Our students visit college campuses throughout the state and the region including in California, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Graduating seniors celebrate their success by joining their classmates on transformational experiences touring Europe, exploring Washington, D.C., or engaging in a STEM experience in California.
“Relationships are so important to me and the foundation of everything I do as an educator. The relationships I have built here are not just with kids in my class, but with students I no longer teach.” – Koral Owens, 1st grade teacher & Team Leader
