Welcome to the WHS School Counseling Site

The School Counseling Department's goal is to provide all students with timely and appropriate academic assistance and support, to supply them with the college and career information necessary for effective decision-making, and to provide personal counseling as it relates to school performance.

Students are seen by their school counselor in both individual and group meetings. The freshman program assists students with the transition to high school, providing valuable information and strategies to help them perform to the best of their ability. The sophomore program focuses on careers and interests, culminating with the Career Exploration program. In January of the Junior Year, counselors work with students regarding post high school planning. During the senior year, the focus is to finalize post secondary plans. 

School counselors also provide support/assistance with a student's personal, as well as academic, needs and interests. Students and parents are encouraged to contact their counselor with any questions or concerns.

Program of Studies

The course selection process is important. This Program of Studies contains a great deal of useful information; please read it carefully.

School counselors will help students plan their high school program. Because some courses are available only to students in grades 11 and 12, and because courses may have guidelines or prerequisites, students will need to plan carefully.
