East High School Counselors

Our counselors are here to support you every step of the way during your high school journey. Whether you’re planning your academic path, exploring college and career options, or just need someone to talk to, we’re here to help.

Academic Planning

  • Counselors will meet with each individual student in early spring to plan for the following school year. 

Responsive Services

  • Students in crisis can seek support through the counseling office or social emotional behavior specialist. Counselors will work with families to provide appropriate resources/referrals. 

Resources/Referrals

  • Counselors can provide resources and referrals for families in need. Where our school resources end, community resources begin.
