Virginia Wizard- This is a helpful tool for all grade levels. Students and parents can look at career and college planning, possible career pathways and what education is needed to get there, what it can cost to live independently (and therefore what jobs you would need for certain lifestyles), and much more. Students should request log-in information from Mrs. Clarke or their School Counselor to access all available content.
PowerSchool Log-In- If you need your PowerSchool log-in information (student or parent), please contact EHS and ask for Mrs. Clarke.
