School counselors are assigned by grade level and remain with each student throughout his or her time at Hoboken High School. A counselor’s responsibility reaches far beyond merely scheduling students into a program of studies. Each counselor is assigned to guide and counsel students throughout the high school years. The counselors attempt to get to know students’ unique needs and help them reach their full potential. Counselors assist students in the selection of a realistic and satisfying academic program which they support by providing information about further education and career decisions. 

In addition to counseling related to academic issues, counselors assist with the personal, social and emotional growth of their assigned students. They also work closely with teachers, parents and other professional and community resources.
