					<description><![CDATA[ECHS class of 2024 will be announced next week! Be looking for the weighted lottery video and the 2024 ECHS student list. Please note there are only 25 spots available. As noted in the ECHS blueprints provided by Texas Educational Agency,   "For admissions, the ECHS shall use either a performance-blind, open-access lottery system that encourages and considers applications from all
students (all students have an equal opportunity for acceptance, regardless of background or academic performance) or a weighted lottery that
favors students who are at risk or who are part of the targeted sub-populations for the ECHS." West Orange Cove Consolidated School District have put in place the weighted lottery system to meet these demands. Good luck to all our incoming 9th grade students!]]></description>
