We will also be offering the ASVAB for Seniors.
What is the ASVAB??
Your son or daughter's decision to enter college, technical or vocational school, military service, or straight to work is an important one. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program can help. The ASVAB produces three Career Exploration Scores for Verbal Skills, Math Skills, and Science and Technical Skills. These scores serve as information about your child that can aid in the exploration of a wide variety of career options. Every student who take the ASVAB will receive a Career Exploration Guide, which includes career information to almost 400 occupations. EHS will be offering the ASVAB to our Senior students on October 10th. The ASVAB is FREE, and you do not have enlist in the Military to take it. If you are interested in your student taking the exam, click on the following link. We have 60 spots available.

FAFSA opens October 1st!!
What is the FAFSA? Free application for federal aid.
To apply for most financial aid - including federal and state student grants, work-study, and loans - you'll need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Oct. 1 is the first day you can file the FAFSA. You should try to file as close to this date as possible. College, state and private aid deadlines may be much earlier than federal deadlines. You should pay attention to your colleges' priority financial aid deadlines. It's a good idea to file your FAFSA as early as possible, so that you can get a jump on other financial aid applications (state or institutional aid) that might have earlier deadlines.
We want to celebrate you and your accomplishments!!!
As you begin receiving college acceptances and scholarship offers, please bring a copy of your letters to Mrs. Elifrits in the Counseling Center. You may also email a copy to
[email protected]. This is for all colleges/scholarships, not just the ones you accept. Also, if you are planning to join the military, please stop by and let us know which branch and your recruiter's name. Failure to turn in your information could result in you not being recognized at the Senior awards program.
