The Counseling Department strives to inform parents/guardians about opportunities for our students throughout the school year by offering topical events in the evenings. Please note these dates on your calendar and attend to stay informed. These events are also a great time to have your questions answered.

Sophomore/Junior Night or College Planning Night

Case Study Night

The counselors invite admissions officers from 12-15 colleges and universities to meet with students and parents to discuss what college admissions officers really look at when admitting, denying or wait listing applicants. This event is offered every other year on the BE campus.  Parents and students must complete some “homework” to receive the most out of the evening.
