Academic & College Counseling

The mission of the Academic and College Counseling Office “The ACC” is to ensure that EC students receive comprehensive academic, college, and career advisement throughout their time in high school. Partnering with parents, faculty, and administration, we strive to provide excellent and timely resources for students so that they feel well informed and prepared to pursue the postsecondary path of their choosing.
