In September of 1996, Escondido Charter High School (ECHS) began
its Back to Basics approach to education with the motto,
Education Is Our Business. Because we are a charter
school, ECHS provides an educational choice to parents and students.
Teamwork, dedication, hard work and a focus on improving pupil
learning have produced excellent results. From the first year
of operation, ECHS has had a waiting list for enrollments.
Escondido
Charter High School is committed to putting more taxpayer funds directly
into the classroom. In order to do this, ECHS is run like a business.
We consider the parents and students to be our customers. We believe
the parents are the primary educators, and by working together, we
will provide a quality education for each student.
Here's
how YOU can help:
We believe investing in the American Heritage Education Foundation
is the best investment you can make to help improve America's Public
Education.
Your financial and/or in-kind investment(s) support parental and student
"choice" through competition and accountability - the American
way !
You
may be asking: Why does ECHS need my financial support?
The
answer is twofold. First of all, because we are a charter
school, we receive less funding per student than other public schools.
And, secondly, as a charter school, we do not have the legal
authority to go to taxpayers in order to pass a general obligation
bond to fund the building of our school facilities.
For
these two major reasons, your financial support is a vital part of
helping us maintain a top-notch learning environment for our students.
We thank you in advance for "partnering" with ECHS and Heritage
K-8 Charter School through your contributions(s) to AMHEF, the fund-raising
"umbrella" for both schools.
With
your financial support, we will continue to serve as a model for other
charter schools across our county, our state, and our nation.
