the School Counseling Department

The School Counseling Department can best be described as the services available to each student to facilitate his/her academic success in school, support for students’ emotional and social growth, identification of interests and plans for realistic goals. The emphasis is always on the individual. Students are assigned to a specific counselor at the beginning of the school year. 

The counselors use school orientation programs, homeroom visits, guidance classes, and individual appointments to become acquainted with students. In addition, standardized placement scores and academic history of each student is studied. Information concerning academics, graduation requirements, colleges, scholarships, career and vocational training are disseminated.

Mini-college fairs and career days are scheduled throughout the year. College Night is held each year on the first Wednesday in October. Appointment passes to see counselors may be obtained at the guidance office reception desk.
