Guidance Office

Welcome to the Guidance office! The CSE School Counselors and their teams provide each student with the tools and resources they need to be successful in their high school career and the pursuit of their post-secondary goals. We want nothing more than for you to be successful both in our school and beyond.

At the CSE, the School Counselor will assist students with: 

Planning academic courses 
Exploring individual interests and abilities in regards to career fit
Locating opportunities inside and outside of school to promote personal and academic growth
Developing study skills and employability skills
Learning about post-secondary options
Addressing any personal, social, or emotional concerns that impact academic performance


Finding current and future job opportunities
Applying for financial aid and scholarships for post-secondary education 
Facilitating the completion of the comprehensive graduation project

College and career fairs
College and career guest speakers

Working with students' families and the community is an integral part of CSE's efforts in supporting our students.

Attention 2024 Graduates

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is expected to open up in October of 2024. Counselors will be meeting with seniors beginning in October to discuss the completion of their FAFSA if they plan to attend a post-secondary educational institution in the 2025-2026 school year. The FAFSA is the single most important application in determining a student's eligibility for federal student financial aid that includes scholarships, grants, and federal student loans. Students in Pennsylvania should submit their FAFSA and their PA State Grant application by May 1, 2025, in order to be considered for both federal and state aid. The sooner students submit their applications, the greater likelihood they will receive optimal financial aid opportunities.

College and career fairs

This year, CSE will be hosting our college and career fairs on October 24 and again in March of 2025. These events will be held at the Skills Center in a morning session, followed by an afternoon session at the Leadership Center.
