Our purpose as a school counseling department is to promote academic achievement and enhance the learning process for students. We are here to help students with their academic, career, and personal development. We work with teachers, administrators, students, and parents to provide the individual help that each student needs throughout their high school career by consulting, offering counseling, intervening, and referring to outside agencies, if needed. Our services can be grouped under three main categories: individual planning, responsive services, and system support.
