Wishing our best to the State Track qualifiers as they head to Wichita State University on Friday and Saturday! Go Eagles!
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles; They shall run and not be weary; They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

We cannot let the year come to a close without giving a huge shout out to this amazing lady! Mrs. June Unruh wears many hats at ECS, but the one that keeps her the busiest is being the fearless leader of the Yearbook crew! Mrs. Unruh travels many miles each week to support our students at their events and capture all of their amazing moments. THANK YOU, Mrs. Unruh! You are the BEST!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- SILAS REDENBAUGH! If you need help lifting something, moving something, setting up or tearing down for an event, or just general assistance on nearly any project, Silas is your guy! Silas has a huge servant's heart, and he is not afraid to jump into any situation to help someone out. Although he did have to battle through a knee injury his senior year, you also couldn't miss Silas out on the soccer field or on the basketball court all four years of high school. Silas is a National Honor Society member, a four-year honor roll recipient, and our KSHSAA Citizenship Award winner! Silas has already begun his electrical certification journey with classes at Hutchinson Community College, and he is looking forward to continuing in that field of study as he enters the work force. Silas, keep your eyes focused on Jesus and continue to let Him guide your steps! Congratulations!
All School's Day Parade!
SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- BRIANNA STUCKY! Whether she is singing, dancing, or cheering, Brianna's contagious smile and sweet personality will light up the room! You may recognize Bri from the musical stage as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella or from leading the cheer squad the last two years as co-captain! If you have heard Brianna sing or play the violin, you know she has amazing musical talent; she recently qualified for State choir with both a solo and the senior ensemble. Bri is also a National Honor Society member, a Discipleship Group Leader, and is our KSHSAA Citizenship Award winner. Her plans next fall include heading to Wichita State University to major in business and minor in dance. She would also like to study interior design at WSU Tech. Congratulations, Brianna, we can't wait to see how the Lord uses you in your future endeavors!
SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- DANIEL OLSEN! Daniel has spent years running up and down the soccer field and taking endless laps around the track; it is safe to say that this long distance runner has logged more miles than the average high school student! Daniel is known as a highly intelligent, quiet guy with a wide range of interests. He is an athlete, an artist, a reader, and a gifted writer! It is rare for a high schooler to hold the same job his entire high school career, but Daniel has worked for We Wash Windows since he was 14, sometimes even putting in hours before school or late at night. Daniel has also spent many years working up the ranks of Scouting, and after hours of dedication to projects and community service, Daniel became an Eagle Scout last October. Daniel is looking forward to attending McPherson College in the fall. His major is undecided; however, he is interested in a possible career in software development. Congratulations, Daniel! We can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for you!
SENIOR SPOTLIGHT - JOHN BURRILL! John is an avid sports fan who loves the Kansas City Chiefs and loves to play baseball -- he has been playing since age four! John has been in choir every year of high school and has spent many hours on the stage participating in all four high school musicals. He was also a member of the senior ensemble that qualified for state choir this spring. Apparently he is an expert bowler as well (240? Wow!)! John is known as a polite young man with a huge heart who is willing to help anyone in need. He will be attending Hutchinson Community College this fall to major in Fire Science and plans to pursue a career in firefighting. John, we wish you the very best as you follow God's leading for the next steps of your journey!
