Counseling Office
The school counseling department exists to help students adjust
to new school experiences and to help students make the best of
educational opportunities. Any problems, whether school
problems or personal problems, may be discussed with the
school counselors.
As a student progresses through senior high school, a school
counselor will help each individual to choose the subjects which fit
his/her individual needs. During these years, plans for the future
start taking shape. To help with the many decisions a student
must make, the counseling department is well supplied with
information about colleges and trade schools and about jobs in
hundreds of different fields. Each student is encouraged to
become acquainted with the counselors early and to use the
guidance services often. Appointments may be made by
contacting the counseling office. Students are assigned
counselors by the first letter of their last name:
