We recognize that navigating the path to college can be challenging. We are here to help with every step of the process. After all, our students' success is our future! Edgewood focuses attention on the worth and growth of every student, and our counselors are crucial to maintaining that commitment to nurturing individual students’ unique strengths.

Students remain with the same school counselor for all four years of their high school experience, working together on any academic, personal, social, emotional, and leadership related topics. A second college/career counselor works with students on topics related to career exploration, identifying interests and abilities, college/major exploration—and especially in junior and senior year—an individualized plan for identifying and applying to colleges that are a specific "good fit" for each student.

College and Career Counseling

Students at EHS have access to a comprehensive college counseling program. Our counselors work closely with students to ensure they take the appropriate courses and tests to qualify for the college they wish to attend.

While we are a college-prep high school and encourage our graduates to go on to college, we know that it is not for everyone. We work with students to identify alternative options, and pursue the path that's right for each student, whether that's a military career, a gap year or other goals and aspirations.

Each year, students experience exposure to various interest inventories, career related activities, and portfolio building through the career cruising program. Counselors integrate the results of these tasks into their student meetings relating to course selection, college advising, and post-secondary planning.

Lastly, student have access to a career networking opportunity database with contact information of Madison area professionals who have offered their expertise and knowledge in their career field to help Edgewood students on an individual basis. Students can use the database to connect with professionals in field of interests for advise, consultation, day long job-shadow opportunities, or potential internship positions.
