ECHS parents, attendance matters! Here's how absences can add up. Every day counts toward student success!
This is mandatory for all NEW INCOMING OWLS' PARENTS ONLY! Due to lack of space, no other grade levels will attend at this time. New students' parents will receive important information regarding ECHS, their student's schedule and their students' technological device. We will also have food trucks available for those who are hungry!
ECHS Owls, help us welcome our new Algebra 2 teacher, Dr. Robin Ragland!
I am a Tyler native and a Tyler ISD and UT Tyler alum. I did my graduate studies at the University of North Texas in Denton. I am an avid reader, a lover of art, music, and creative writing, and a sci-fi/fantasy nerd. I have spent the past three years as an adjunct lecturer at both UT Tyler and LeTourneau University in Longview. While I enjoy all of my creative pursuits, my main joy, my true passion, is teaching mathematics. Imparting my joy and love for the subject to my students is my calling in life, and I am delighted to share that with the students at ECHS.
Hello Everyone! My name is Nic Ramirez and this will be my first year at Early College High School and TISD. I have been teaching for 10 years in both public and private schools. I have also been an Adjunct Professor of History at Tyler Junior College for the last 7 years. Born and raised here in Tyler and in my free time I love to catch up on my favorite series or movies or grabbing a good book to read. I look forward to this upcoming school year and being a ECHS Owl!
