Registration Information for the 2019-2020
school year
Counselors will be meeting individually with all 9th - 11th grade students to review transcripts, 4 year plans and course selections for the next school year. This will be done through Social Studies classes beginning January 30th. This process will take several weeks and will end with parents receiving course request verification forms via email. Final course selections for 2019-2020 must be made by the last day of this school year.
Available classes for the 19-20 school year may be found here!
We will also be offering the ASVAB for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students.
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 Sophomore, Junior, and Senior students on February 4th. The ASVAB is FREE, and you do not have to 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.

Info for Seniors:

All college bound Seniors should complete the FAFSA!!
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.
It is time to start your Apply Texas account! Most public colleges in Texas will use the Apply Texas application. Get started now!
