THE COUNSELOR BLOG IS GETTING A NEW HOME!!!

As of February 16, 2013 we are getting a new home! We will now be hosted right on the Eureka City Schools Eureka High website!  This blog will remain here so that you can access any of the previously published information and there is a link on the new blog back to this one.

Here is how to find the new blog:

·         Go to www.eurekacityschools.org and choose Eureka High School under “Schools”

·         On the left side of the page you will find “Counseling”.

·         Roll your mouse over “Counseling”

·         Click on “EHS Counselor Blog”

There you will find this same blog but it will look a little different than what you are used to. There will be a list of postings and to see one, just click on the title.

We are excited about this new change and hope it makes this blog easier and more convenient for everyone to find and to use.

Here is a direct link to our new blog. We hope to see you there often!
