GUIDANCE SERVICES

The guidance counselors are student advocates. If students need help in any way, they should contact
their counselor or meet with the counselor available for walk-ins. Students can arrange appointments
with the Guidance Secretary. After hours appointments can be arranged with individual counselors.
Counselors are available to assist with concerns regarding school or personal issues. They will also
assist with college information, testing, scheduling, high school career programs, and individual career
plans.
