School Counseling

The Expanded Options program offers an opportunity to high school students who are eligible to earn college credit while in high school.

To find out more about the eligibility requirements please contact Michele Anderson, School Counselor.

EVA also offers an alternative way to earn college credit through select EVA direct classes taught by EVA teachers. Dual Credit courses are college-level courses that allow students to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. These classes are always taught by an EVA teacher.

The Dual Credit program currently offers opportunities in Math, English, Business, Science, and Early Childhood Education. To find out more about this program, please contact Kari Carter, Dual Credit Specialist.

Be informed and involved in planning your educational path. High school students have 4 year graduation plans that are reviewed regularly by your school counselors. It is extremely important that you access, understand and are involved in following and working with your counselor to make changes to your plans.
