COLLEGE COUNSELING
The Aspen High School College Counseling Program is dedicated to helping students consider options and achieve admission to the college of their choice. AEF fully funds a full-time college counselor and full-time assistant. Our Aspen High School seniors exemplify our schools at work. Not so long ago, they were learning science from Mr. G, preparing for their 8th grade Outdoor Ed solos, and wide-eyed on the first day of high school. Today, almost every one of them has taken full advantage of our college counseling department.
“AHS College Counseling is dedicated to providing excellent services for all students at Aspen High School. The generosity of AEF enables us to provide equity and distribution of services such that every student can discover and realize their potential and possibilities for the future. Through the support of AEF, the College Counseling Office has been able to provide a second College Counselor and Office Coordinator, as well as fund a College & Career Discovery class, all of which has transformed our office and elevated the access students have to college counseling and career planning.”
