Guidance and counseling services are provided to assist each student with the day-to-day adjustments to school, to evaluate interests and aptitudes, to plan for the future through continuing education beyond high school, or for seeking employment after high school.

Any student who wishes to make an appointment with his/her counselor should come by the Counseling Center before or after school, between classes, or during lunch, and sign the appropriate counselor's appointment sheet. The counselor will make the appointment and send for the student at the appointment time. Parents may also make appointments by phoning the Counseling Center at 370-8184.
