Welcome to the Counseling Department Web Page! 

Counselors, together with other faculty members, strive to increase student motivation and achievement by maximizing each individual's educational, personal, social, and career development potential.  We act as advocates for students in working with school personnel, families, and community agencies to remove barriers to student learning.

Counselors provide direct service in the areas of academic guidance, post-high school planning, crisis intervention, personal counseling, and referrals to outside resources.

While each counselor has primary responsibility for one of the five small schools, we are always available to any students needing to talk regardless of small school assignment.

Appointments:  Students may sign up for an appointment on their counselor's clipboard on the counter in the counseling office.  It is up to the student to get permission from their teacher to leave class for an appointment--counselors will not call students down for these appointments.  Counselors are usually available before school and during lunches for drop-in appointments as well.
