Good evening, this is Rick Parker, Principal of EastMecklenburg High calling with our last Friday Weekly Update of the 2022-23 school year. All students finished their EOC make-up exams today. I am very proud to say we accomplished 95% overall student attendance for our EOC exams. A big shout out goes to our testing coordinator, Julia Mercabi, for all her planning and preparation to make the testing days a huge success. We have had a wonderful school year! Congratulations to the Class of 2023!
