A Big Thank You to Judy Miller!
We are thrilled to express our heartfelt gratitude to Judy Miller for her generous donation of the 1967 Echo yearbook. Thanks to her contribution, our collection now proudly houses every yearbook from the 1960s! Judy's donation has brought immense joy to the staff and students at E.C.H.O. Charter School.
A Note on Our Collection:
Our earliest yearbook dates back to 1938, which we believe might be the first year Echo had a yearbook. If you know of any yearbooks from earlier years, please let us know!
We're still searching for more yearbooks! We need yearbooks from the following years to complete our archive:
- 1943 to 1950
- 1953
- 1991
- 1993 to 2000
- 2002
If you possess yearbooks from these years and are willing to donate or loan them to the school, it would greatly aid in our historical preservation efforts. Your support is invaluable to us!
Thank you again to Judy Miller and to all who consider contributing to our growing collection.

Happy Independence Day from E.C.H.O. Charter School!
