Counseling Department Philosophy
Our counselors support students in their academic, emotional, and social development, with special emphasis on preparation for college. Our students are unique; they have different needs, experiences and goals. There is no “one size fits all” for school counseling. Our school counselors believe that their role is to help students navigate the pressures and challenges they experience as they strive to obtain a greater sense of self and increasingly move toward independence.
Counseling Department Structure
The Counseling Department consists of eight full-time counselors, including five personal/academic counselors and three college counselors.
Student Counselor Assignments
Each student is assigned both a personal counselor and a college counselor, and those pairings remain the same throughout high school. Counselors get to know their students well, allowing them to efficiently guide students from the beginning of freshman year through the college application process. Parents and students can find the names of their counselors on their individualized school schedules.
