Golden Eagle Charter School
High School Advising
Golden Eagle Charter School is dedicated helping students discover
themselves: their interests, abilities, gifts, challenges, and learning
styles. Given that knowledge, and an academic background suited to
the modern day world, we are motivated
to help our students become happy
and productive people. Face to face high school advising is available
through the student’s Educational Facilitator and our school counselor.
In addition, GECS has developed checklists for each grade level to help guide students through their high school experience.
