Vandegrift High School Counseling Services

VHS Counseling Department Services

Some of the specific services offered by the department are below, but please reach out via email if you have a question or need direction. 

Social/Emotional support​

• • Whether it is a conflict with a friend, anxiety about coursework, or a death in the family, the counselors are here to support students and families with various needs.

Responsive services

• • Students in crisis can seek support through the Counseling Office and counselors will work with families to provide the appropriate resources based on individual cases.

Providing resources

• • ​The answer may not always be at the school, but we can direct families and students to outside resources that may provide additional support.

College and career planning

• • Counselors will meet with students each year at counselor/student conferences to discuss and explore appropriate grade level goals and resources to keep students on track for success.

Academic planning

• • Counselors will meet with each student individually during counselor/student conferences to plan for the following school year and to review graduation requirements.

  • We ask that parents take part in our yearly parent grade level webinar/presentation and follow up with students following the counselor/student conference to discuss progress and future plans. 

We encourage students to self-advocate prior to parent intervention. Parents can support their student in this by discussing what steps they should take to seek support for their needs. 

 Please contact us with any questions you may have.
