ECHS Director Evelyn Edney named 2021 Delaware Principal of the Year
Delaware News Desk
The National Association of Secondary School Principals has named Evelyn Edney, director of Delaware State University’s Early College High School, as the 2021 Delaware Principal of the Year.
Edney is the second director of the ECHS, assuming the school’s top post in 2015 one year after its founding. Since then, she has overseen the graduation of the first three graduating classes of ECHS students, which totaled 201 graduates.
While some of those graduates went on to be accepted in universities across that country, more than half of them stayed in the First State to enroll at Delaware State University. And because ECHS students also take college courses and earn the credits for them before they receive their high school diploma, three from the ECHS Class of 2018 have already graduated from DSU.
