Counseling Services
School counselors help students make appropriate personal, career, and educational decisions.  In either individual or in group sessions, the counselors:
  • help students to achieve increased self-awareness and feeling of self-worth
  • provide opportunities for students to discuss personal and/or social problems that may affect learning, motivation, and personal development
  • assist students in acquiring decision-making skills to make appropriate educational, career, and personal decisions
  • provide testing and test interpretation to help students analyze their interests, abilities and values with respect to career awareness.
  • meet annually with each student to plan an educational program consistent with his/her needs (Four-Year Plan).
  • provide information to students and parents about colleges, careers, and vocational schools
  • take an active role in working with the administration to inform students and parents of guidance programs.
  • act as student advocates in any reasonable cause.
  • collect and interpret information needed for student conferences, e.g., Educational Management Team (EMT) meetings.
  • work with teachers and parents to help students achieve their potential in school
