A message from the Chairman

Thank you for visiting the ECSOSA Website. Our webmaster has produced an excellent package which will I am sure will go from strength to strength - especially if you add your own contributions.

I would like to emphasise that our Association welcomes ALL old scholars and staff of the School and is not confined to any particular phase or period.

Over the years Edmonton County School has progressed from Central School, through Secondary, County Grammar and Comprehensive and now to Specialist Technology status. All periods have had their strengths and weaknesses but throughout there has remained the indefinable spirit of the school personified by the links between generations of teachers and passed on to their pupils. Because of this, no matter how many gatherings of old scholars I attend, I am always struck by the bonds shared by representatives of many different periods. Of course you will want to contact classmates and contemporaries and we have the resources to help. Far more is possible however if you work through our association rather than as isolated groups. I hope you will want to join us and help maintain your links with each other and the school. In doing so, I trust you will also discover the wider kinship enjoyed by all our members.
