reviews. For personal counseling, students should feel free to see the counselor they are assigned, or another whom they prefer, the Campus Minister, or to consult with any faculty member.
The Counseling Department is located on the first floor in the Administrative Services wing. Students are encouraged to arrange for appointments with the Counseling Department Manager before coming to counseling sessions. Students will receive a pass during their first period class of the scheduled appointment day. When counselors initiate appointments, they will try to make appointments during Study Hall time whenever possible. If a student has no Study Hall time, a counselor may have to schedule an appointment during a class. Teachers may decline these "class time" appointments if a test or quiz is scheduled for that class.
Through a special agreement, the services of a financial aid counselor from College Now, Greater Cleveland are available on select Mondays throughout the school year. Juniors, seniors and/or parents may make appointments by contacting the Counseling Department secretary. Topics can include the FAFSA and special circumstances that might impact financial aid awards, interpretation of financial aid award letters for seniors, and scholarship opportunities.
