School Counselor
MASTERS OF SCIENCE IN SCHOOL COUNSELING
The School Counselor is available to all students who have concerns of an educational, vocational, or personal nature. The main objective of the department is to help students use their potential to the fullest, use all services within the school, and to help students know more about themselves so that they are better able to utilize their talents.
The counseling program is available to assist students in identifying career options consistent with their abilities, interests, and personal values. Students are encouraged to seek the help of counselors to develop class schedules that meet the student’s career objectives. Students have the opportunity to receive college and career-oriented information. Representatives from colleges and universities, occupational training institutions and career-oriented recruiters, including the military, may be given access to the school campus in order to provide students and parents/guardians with information.
The Counseling Department is in charge of scheduling, grading and reporting process, testing, student participation in area college night, printing of cumulative records sent to registrar, scholarships and financial aid, placement, follow-up studies of high school graduates, and various other activities. To arrange an appointment, come to the Counseling Office before school or between classes and inform the secretary you wish to see the Counselor. Students may also ask teachers to send them to the Counseling Department if they feel the problem is urgent. Counseling is CONFIDENTIAL, and the student’s concerns are not discussed with others without his or her expressed permission, with some exceptions. (harm or threat of harm to self, harm or threat of harm to others, and/or, reports of harm or threats of harm by others, and/or, other emergency situations that would need intervention)
Parents/guardians are always welcome to call or visit the Counseling Office when they wish to discuss the progress of their child.
