I go to Ereckson, and I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is. All the classes are sooo fun, but we learn a lot at the same time. It is almost immpossible to say that school is boring here. The building is off the chain. It is so much better than any other school I've ever been to. You're so free there.And the teachers are exccellent! I dread the day that I have to leave Ereckson.

I go to Ereckson and I can't describe how amazing this school is. The teachers work everyday to help us excel to our full potential. The parents and PTA are involved and help with the numerous extra circular activities. I couldn't ask for a better school.

I love teaching Algebra 1 at Ereckson. My students are amazing kids I look forward to seeing each day. Our Parents and PTA are a great support. My so-workers are dedicated and caring. My administration backs the teachers - but is always thinking about what is best for kids first! I love my job!
