Edmonson County High School is one of the best here. I have been to other schools but none make me feel as welcome or safe as ECHS. EC has amazing academics and has made greatfull strides in the last couple of years. Edmonson may not get as much credit as the other local schools but EC has true pride that shows throughout teachers and students at every game or anything that has to do with us, the students. Every classroom has a greatfull atmosphere. It's great and every student should have a chance to experience the magnitude if greatness that this school has to offer in its suburban setting and laid back life style. Close Quote
