Welcome to the EHS School Counseling Office Website!
Happy Thanksgiving from the School Counseling Office!
The EHS School Counseling Office will be closed for Thanksgiving Break from November 22nd at 11:00am until November 28th. During the time the School Counseling Office is closed, we will not be processing transcripts or supporting document requests. As a reminder, it can take up to 15 school days to process transcript/supporting document requests; please make sure to plan accordingly. Please see our College Transcript Request Guide page for more information.
College Instant Decision Days for Seniors
Emmaus High School is very proud to offer Instant Decision Days (IDDs) for our graduating seniors. In addition to a streamlined college application process, these IDD acceptances to a four-year university qualify for the Alternative Pathway requirement for the state graduation requirement (Act 158).
EHS is offering IDDs for multiple four-year institutions throughout the Fall. As part of that process, students would apply to the college/university (either through their application or through the Common Application) AND they would need to register for the IDD by completing the appropriate Google Form.
Information about the schools visiting us and links to the Google Forms to sign up for each school are available at this link and in the Class of 2024 Schoology course when you go to the green Counseling Office folder, then scroll to the bottom of the page.
EHS Wellness Resources and Website
The EHS Counseling Office is pleased to announce that in collaboration with the EHS School Psychologists, Communities in Schools and other departments within the high school, we have put together the EHS Wellness Resources website (linked here). These resources that can be used by anyone at any time, and will be updated each month based on a topic or theme for that month. We encourage students, educators and families to utilize this resource and as always, we encourage students to reach out to their counselor or school psychologist if they are struggling.

Additionally, we created a sheet with talking points and tips for parents as well as a COVID-19 related graphic that can help to identify signs of struggle along with links to articles as resources for more information and how to help.
Naviance
The school counseling office is pleased to continue to offer the Naviance system to our students and their families. Naviance is the preferred postsecondary planning resource for EHS school counselors. We encourage all families to utilize the resources found in Naviance. Below is a link to access Emmaus High School’s Naviance Student site. Students must log in using the Single Sign-On option and must be logged into their EPSD account to do so. Parents must register using a registration code, which can be obtained from your child’s school counselor. Once registered, parents are able to input an email address and create a password for future use.
