Principal's Message

 EC Parents/Guardians,                                                                                                          

Year after year, I continue to be inspired by the unwavering support and understanding this community offers to our students and staff. This positive and encouraging spirit is truly why East Central High School remains “the” top school in Southeast Indiana and one of the top schools in the state. We continue to offer a plethora of opportunities and rigorous preparation for our students...your children. From dual credit opportunities through Indiana University, Vincennes University, and Ivy Tech as well as Career and Technical opportunities at the Southeastern Career Center and here on campus, to our Gold level ISSMA programs in the performing arts and our well-recognized and decorated visual arts, to our highly successfully and competitive athletic teams, EC is a school/family in which we can all take great pride. As I enter year six with you and your children, my mission continues to focus on making connections, on providing the best opportunities for our students, and perhaps most importantly, on offering a safe and secure school environment where your child/student can grow and thrive as an academic and as a person.

As a servant leader, trust and communication continue as core values. Know that I am readily accessible to both you and your student(s) and respectfully honest even if we don’t agree in the end. Our staff will work diligently to ensure that every student has a path to success and a niche within our walls where they feel respected, accepted, and appreciated. The following points of emphasis continue to be the basic components of every successful high school, remain a focus of our School Improvement Plan, and are well defined goals within State expectations. To the best of our ability, we will:

We plan to continue our efforts on consistent and clear communication between students, staff, and community regarding mission, vision, successes, hopes, and desires. We’ll also continue our commitment to best-practices and alignment across content areas to ensure continued academic success and, even moreso, growth and improvement as a part of our desire to be counted among the best high schools in Indiana.

Lastly, as I’ve shared before, know how thankful I am to be here with your student(s), this staff, and this community. I take great pride in what we have done and what we are doing. WE ARE...EC!

Respectfully,       

Tom Black, Principal  

"Learning Today. Leading Tomorrow."

WE ARE EC!!!
