2016-2017 Is Off to a Great Start!!
ALL School Meeting & Club Rush
Welcome back to Quest ECHS!
We are thrilled to be in our new home
at 1700 Wilson Road, and we are look-
ing forward to the finishing touches
which should be complete soon. We welcomed 119 fresh-
men to our ranks this year and hosted about half of our par-
ents and students at Open House last week. This year will be
full of student events, activities, and more Parent events - a
huge benefit of having our OWN space!
I would like to encourage you to participate in these events, to
follow us on social media, and to get involved in Quest ECHS
by any means possible. We have an active PTSA who would
love to have you as a member, and your student’s Family could
use help on many occasions. You could donate your time
which is extremely valuable, or you could donate money to
our Friends of Quest Annual Fund, all of which goes directly to
our campus to buy much needed technology and equipment
our students use each day. YOU are an important member of
our Quest family, and I look forward to working with you as
we help our students achieve at the highest possible levels.
I welcome your communication and assistance as we begin the
BEST year ever at Quest ECHS!
Ginger Noyes
Principal, Quest ECHS
The first week of school brought two exciting events: an ALL school meeting and our annual Club Rush. The entire student
body of Quest ECHS was able to meet together for the first time in several years due to our for-
mer space constraints. Quest teachers performed skits about the school mission, and student government leaders were
“Knighted” as Quest Knights to lead the Knight Council. Then they were off to explore all of the clubs Quest ECHS has to
offer. There are over 15 clubs and organizations in which stu-dents can participate, and they
can even form new clubs with facilitator and administrative approval. A great, activity-filled
year awaits us in our new space!!

The Quest ECHS Student
Council has formally adopted
the name of the Knight
Council. Elections for
sophomores, juniors, seniors,
and student body officers
were held at the conclusion
of last school year. Freshmen
held their elections a few
weeks into the 2016-17
school year. Despite such a
short period of time
transpiring, the Knight
Council has already facilitated a successful blood drive,
organized an all-school assembly, and developed their policy
agenda for the school year. The Knight Council will work on
finding ways to foster increased school spirit, develop more
effective communication school-wide, host fundraising
activities aimed at providing students with more in-school
and after-school activities, and partnering with community
organizations. If you have any questions about the Knight
Council, please email Mr. Brett Crawford
([email protected]) or your class officers.

technology, sports equipment, fund teacher professional develop-
ment, and subsidize field trip opportunities for our students.
