Dedicated to Excellence in Education

East Central High School opened in 1951 on the outskirts of San Antonio; the first graduating class that year had 6 students. Today, over 800 students a year earn their diploma from the sprawling 30 acre campus, many with college credit as well. Home of the fighting Hornets, ECHS is proud to support one of the largest Health Science programs in the state of Texas, a multi-award winning Agricultural Science program, and the continual first place finishing, student built Electric Cars. Along with Advanced Placement, Dual Credit, Seminar and Practicum offerings, students can participate in robotics, cyber patriot, dance, band, yearbook and JROTC, just to name a few.
