Overview of School Counseling

The Henry Abbott Technical High School Counseling Department promotes students' academic, career, social, and emotional growth in alignment with district, state, and national standards. Our Support Services team addresses individual student needs to enhance learning and classroom engagement, while collaborating with the community to cultivate productive, resourceful, and responsible citizens. We believe a skilled workforce starts here!

Our Counseling Department consists of four counselors who provide individual and group counseling in career/vocational, academic, and personal/social areas based on the developmental needs of the students by:

1. Assisting students in Career Technology and academic course selections.

2. Assisting students in adjusting to a technical high school, addressing student challenges and discussing coping skills.

3. Working with students individually to develop their Post-Secondary plan. 

4. Collaborating with parents, staff and outside agencies, if necessary.

5. Collaborating with the Planning and Placement Team and the Student Assistance Team. 

6. Being 504 Case Managers. 

7. Providing individual counseling as needed.  Our Counseling Department also consists of two full-time School Psychologists who consult with parents, staff, and community agencies regarding the psychological needs of students as they relate to their educational program. Our psychologists meet with students individually or in group counseling sessions to assist students whose problems are interfering with their education.
