Dear Class of 2020,
The end of the school year is soon approaching and the end of my time as a College Adviser at ECHS. Before you head off to your future endeavors, there are two very important things I need from you!
1) Senior Surveys:
- I know you all hate surveys, but it is tremendously important for you all to fill out so that we can continue to have a college adviser on campus for future students! If I have been able to help you in any way, please fill these surveys below fully! It will take about 15 minutes to complete to two
- Please complete all surveys by May 31, 2020 to win gift cards and potentially an iPad!
2) Virtual Decision Day Event (Save the Date: May 27 at 4PM)
Although we are not able to celebrate all of your hard work and successes over the last few years in person. We WILL be having a Virtual Decision Day on May 27, 2020 (Wednesday) from 4-5PM.
- Flyer coming soon! Follow me on IG @EAOPDCAC_ECHS
