Mental health check in on how the year is going
Future thoughts and goals
Graduation progress
We will email the exact date and time of their in-person meeting to the student school email with a google calendar invite.
Parents/guardians: These 30-minute meetings are for students only. We encourage you to contact the School Counseling Office at 857-7111 to speak with your student’s counselor if you have any questions or concerns.
Braincell Peer Tutoring!
Braincell is sponsored by the EHS National Honor Society. If you are struggling in any of your classes and feel that you could benefit from casual peer tutoring please reach out to Braincell by accessing the google form with the QR code on the posters around the school. We have some awesome upperclassmen eager to help you in classes ranging anywhere from a World Language to Math.
EHS + UVM Partnership Opportunity
UVM Pre-College is an opportunity for high school students to save money on college tuition, get a jump on college credits, stand out amongst college applicants, and ease into the college experience.
We are looking to hire an influential student at EHS to join 7 of their peers from EHS, BHS, SBHS, and CVU. It’s a plus if candidates have taken PC courses, but not a requirement.
The pay is competitive at the HS level ($25/hour) and requires around 3 hours per week for 20 weeks. Students can learn more and apply here.
