POST-SECONDARY COUNSELING

The Aspen High School Post-Secondary Counseling Program is dedicated to helping all students make the best possible decision for their time after high school. AEF fully funds one full-time post-secondary counselor and full-time coordinator. This means that our small high school is able to benefit from a post-secondary office of three dedicated professionals. Each student is able to benefit from highly individualized attention in a public school setting. Whether they are college bound, headed to trade school, participating in a transitional education program, gap year, or entering the work force, we are so proud of our students’ choices and the post-secondary office’s ability to support each of them in their decision making.

“The goal of the Post-Secondary Counseling office is to help develop authentic, resilient, and informed decision-makers. By helping students identify their unique qualities and strengths, we can assist them in finding the best path to reach their goals for life after high school.”
Charlie Laube, Aspen High School College Counselor

Access

Every single AHS student has access to a college counselor – who offers guidance on test taking, financial aid, essay writing and the complicated application process.

Availability

Most public high schools do not have a full-time college counselor and students are left to navigate the process on their own.

Effectiveness

97% of our seniors are accepted to college. Proof that college counseling works. What is this worth to you?

Helping students reach their highest potential

COLLEGE FAIR

Every October over 225 colleges and universities gather in Aspen to meet Colorado Western Slope students from more than 80 diverse high schools.
