Welcome!
Students and their parents are encouraged to talk with a school counselor to learn more about course offerings and graduation requirements. To plan for the future, each student should work closely with their counselor in order to enroll in the high school courses that best prepare him/her for attendance at a college, university, or trade school, or for the pursuit of some other type of advanced education. The counselor can also provide information about entrance exams and application deadlines, as well as information about automatic admission to state colleges and universities, financial aid, and scholarships.
ECHS school counselors are also available to assist students with a wide range of personal concerns, including such areas as social, family, or emotional issues. ECHS counselors may also make available information about community resources to address concerns.
Selecting Courses for High School
Students and parents are encouraged to give thoughtful planning to the course selections and to the type of program that would best support their desired career path. Planning a path helps make education relevant to a student's future.
