Student Services
Helping ALL Students Achieve Success
--Insert Mission/Vision
The Student Services Staff work as collaborative partners with parents, teachers, administrators, and the community to promote positive self-development, academic achievement, social responsibility, and life-long learning.
The MCHS Counseling Department provides guidance services and interventions which focus on meeting the academic, personal/social, and college/career needs of ALL students.
ACADEMICS
Counselors assist students in their academic development and educational planning in a variety of ways including course selection, scheduling, assessing interests and abilities, and consulting with parents and teachers to see how students are progressing in their classes.
Counselors also coordinate ongoing systematic activities designed to assist students individually in establishing personal goals and developing future plans.
The best time to meet with counselors is before/after school or during homeroom period. Students can also make individual appointments with counselors to discuss academic issues; appointments can be made by contacting the counselor directly or signing into the MCHS School Counseling Appointment Board (located in lobby of Counseling Suite).
COLLEGE & CAREERS
Counselors will assist students in exploring a wide variety of post secondary options. Students will acquire the skills to investigate the world of work in relation to knowledge of self and to make informed career decisions. Counselors will also help students understand the relationship between personal qualities, education, training and the world of work.
PERSONAL & SOCIAL
Counselors are available to assist students with any personal or social concerns that may be affecting their learning. Counselors will help students acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and interpersonal skills necessary for positive self development and academic success.
Individual and group counseling services are provided for students requiring additional direction. Group counseling allows the students a safe environment to explore their concerns with other students experiencing similar issues.
Counselors also make appropriate referrals to outside community agencies for students in need of additional services.
