Counseling Department Overview 

WELCOME TO BRANHAM HIGH SCHOOL'S COUNSELING DEPARTMENT! 

Branham's School Counselors offer students support in the achievement of high school goals and preparation for life beyond high school.  School Counselors regularly work with students, parents/guardians, staff and teachers to help ensure student success. 

We are here to support you throughout your high school journey. On this site, you will find resources on student success skills (time management, study skills, etc.) as well as college and career. We encourage you to meet with us to get more help!

Students can drop in before school, at lunch, and after school or make appointments to meet with their counselor one-on-one through email at any time throughout the year. Parents and guardians are welcome to schedule a meeting or contact their student’s school counselor via email or phone.

MISSION & VISION

Mission: The Branham High School School Counseling Department provides equitable access to an inclusive and culturally sensitive comprehensive school counseling program and inspires all students to maximize their potential.  The school counseling program is dedicated to recognizing each student as a unique individual and preparing in their academics, personal/social, and career development and future challenges. We advocate for every student and work in collaborative partnerships to empower students to become lifelong learners who are responsible, productive citizens.

Vision: The Branham High School Counseling Department provides a nurturing environment by personalizing socioemotional, academic, and career goals for all students. We believe that success is envisioned and defined differently by each student, thus empowering young adults to make their own decisions as they navigate complex challenges to become resilient leaders in their community.
