EHS Enrollment Information

EnrollJeffco

It’s almost time to EnrollJeffco!

Enrollment for the 2022-23 school year opens tomorrow, January 10th, 2022.

It’s helpful to let us know you’re coming back early, so that the District can prepare for next year’s staffing, budget, resources, and more for our school.

Utilize the School Finder tool to learn more about our school, programs offered, statistics, and more. We hope to see you next year!

ICAP

Attention all Ninth and Tenth Graders!

Your counselors will be coming into your Study Hall periods on Monday, January 24 and Tuesday, January 25 for ICAP (Individual Career and Academic Plan) lessons. Please plan accordingly. You will not have work time that day. All ICAP lessons are mandatory from the district, so please plan to be in attendance.

About ICAP

ICAP is a multi-year process that intentionally guides students and families in the exploration of career, academic and postsecondary opportunities. With the support of counselors, students develop the awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and skills to create their own meaningful and powerful pathways to Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness (PWR). Please reach out to your student's high school counselor if you have further questions.

Yearbook

Hey EHS! Do you do something cool outside of school?

Do you dance, rock climb, scuba dive, surf, play hockey, ride horses, or anything else that isn’t featured in the yearbook? If so, we want your pictures!

You can send your pictures to Mrs. Graham at amy.graham@jeffco.k12.co.us.
