Campus Visits

Students are encouraged to make an appointment to visit each college campus that they are interested in attending by contacting the admissions office. The admissions office will be able to set up a tour of the school and all facilities, including the residence halls and dining areas. Many colleges also have virtual visits on their website. You may also be able to meet with some professors of the major that you are interested in. Some schools offer overnight visits so incoming students can get a true experience by staying in a residence hall with current students. Visiting each campus will give you an idea of what going to school will be like there.

Postsecondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) Information

Families interested in participating in the Postsecondary Enrollment Option Program must watch the informational video below and submit the signed permission form to their student’s counselor. Generally, Juniors must be in the top 33% of their class and Seniors must be in the top 50% of their class to participate. However, colleges and universities individually set their admissions requirements so some may be higher. Students and parents should check directly with the colleges for their specific PSEOP requirements.

Notification of Intent to Enroll

To assist the district in planning, public school students are required to inform their district of their intent to enroll in PSEO courses during the following school year by May 30. If public school students do not notify the enrolling district by May 30, and the enrolling district does not waive the deadline, the family may be responsible for the postsecondary tuition expense.

The Youth Frontiers Respect Retreat® inspires students to respect themselves more, to respect others and to stand up for respect in your school. The retreat reminds students that they matter, and that there is a supportive community of educators, mentors and classmates around them. We challenge students with the message that someone acting with character does not make fun of, bully or torment anyone for any reason. We engage the bystanders to stand up for the value of respect in your hallways, lunch lines and classrooms. Participation in the retreat results in cognitive, attitudinal and behavioral shifts that decrease students’ distractions to learning and build a positive school community.

We invite all 9^th grade students to attend the EHS Respect Retreat. The cost is $25.00

The cost will be $0 if on Free and Reduced Lunch
