Counseling Staff

Each student, grades 9-12, is assigned to a specific Guidance Counselor. Counselors are available to assist the students in decision-making processes, to assist them in knowing and in accepting themselves and to provide them with appropriate information. They also are available to discuss problems with parents, peers, or teachers in adjusting to school in general.
