I went down to El Camino High School today for a meeting about the Thursday, February 2nd ground breaking. God I’m so excited I cannot sleep. Just think what was once a Duck Farm, was transformed into a beautiful field, & soon we will have Stadium LED lights. I never thought I would see that day come, but come it will. Please take time out of your day and be a part of this historic day for EC Athletics.

“If you can dream it, and you are persistent, no matter how many people tell you your wasting your time, it can be done. Never Quit” – Coach Jake
Coach Jake, many promises were made to those neighboring the field, none of which have been completed. It’s hard to support your excitement when it causes us pain. What will you do to be a good neighbor? Promises I’d like you and Principal Lunt to keep – will you be sure the speakers are kept at a low volume and pointed at the field? Will you have attendees park in the basketball courts to avoid congestion in our neighborhood? Will you provide extra security as I’m tired of finding cigarettes and alcohol bottles on the sidewalk? Will you keep cars from parking on the corners so the attendees can safely cross the streets?
