One of the many things I love about Eastern Christian is the commitment to giving students opportunities to pursue their gifts. Beginning in 2nd grade, students in the elementary school, are given the choice to participate in beginning violin group lessons. The lessons occur during the school day, and lead into a robust middle school…

The ECHS Senior Celebration was a beautiful event to both celebrate the ECHS Class of 2019, and their individual accomplishments.  The night of May 16th began with a stirring piano duet by Angela Mo and Juliana Struyk, followed by a warm introduction and prayer by Jax Revfi.  Mr. Ben Fuller then addressed the class, and…

 Robo Rally 3.0 was a great evening highlighting the work of the ECHS Robotics Class over this year's second semester. The spotlight shone bright on “Robo Arena” as 6 robot teams duked it out for the much coveted “Golden Sprocket” award. Students from Eastern Christian High School’s Robotics class actually have this class as…

EC students could compete for the AMC, which is dubbed "America's longest-running and most prestigious Math contest."

Touch a Truck 2019 was a huge hit with more than 800 attendees, largely from outside the EC community learning about our school for the very first time. We had visitors from Bergen, Essex and Passaic counties as well as outside the state. With revenues topping $19,000 and sales well beyond expectations in tickets and…

After last year’s clear and sunny EC Spring Golf Outing, we had high hopes for this year’s event on Monday, May, 13, 2019.  Sadly, what we experienced may have been the worst weather ever for an EC Golf Outing with temperatures in the 40’s and constant (at times heavy) rain.  But it didn’t matter.
