The SHS Counseling Department is dedicated to providing our students, families, and community with the most up-to-date and relevant information related to post-secondary planning, positive mental health, and holistic well-being.
We live in an often stressful, fast-paced, and ever-changing world that can sometimes feel overwhelming. With that in mind, we are committed to putting the needs of every student at the center of our work. Whether you are planning for life after high school, seeking support, or simply looking for resources, we are here to help.
Please explore the pages on our website, and don't hesitate to call or email us with any questions. We look forward to partnering with you and are here to support you every step of the way.
