ABOUT STUDENT SERVICES

Schaumburg High School Student Services Department provides social, personal, and academic counseling, as well as career planning. When students enter high school, a counselor is assigned to help them in these areas. Counselors see their students several times per year through group guidance presentations. Students also can schedule appointments with their counselor. Parents are encouraged to contact the counselor at any time. Students may meet with a counselor during a study hall or lunch, before or after school by appointment.
