High School

In high school, many students are dealing with academic pressures as they face high-stakes testing, the challenges of college admissions, and entrance into a competitive job market. They also may face increased social pressures to engage in risky behaviors involving sex, alcohol and drugs. School counselors are committed to helping students understand that the choices they make now will affect their educational and career options in the future. Counselors play a crucial role during these years in helping students navigate this final transition into adulthood.
