Counseling Center 

The goal of the William Floyd School District Counseling Program is to provide support for every student in their academic growth, career/post-high school plans, and social/personal development. Counselors encourage students to take an active and responsible role in the decision-making process of their high school education. Taking responsibility, developing effective communication skills, and acquiring strong organizational and study/work habits are essential life skills, counselors emphasize these skills in working with their students.

Each year, counselors assist students in their academic and elective course selections for their following school year during a scheduling process which takes place in the mid-winter months. Parents and students are urged to review the William Floyd High School Course Catalog thoroughly in preparation for the scheduling process. Course selections are chosen with student input and are based upon teacher recommendations as well as a student’s past performance, standardized test scores, a student’s college and career goals, and parent requests. Parents will be asked to review and sign student course selection sheets and are encouraged to contact school counselors with questions or concerns.

The William Floyd School District Mission Statement supports the belief that students benefit from course selections which encompass the highest academic standards possible. The Counseling Department encourages students to take full advantage of all the educational opportunities available to them during their high school years. It is highly recommended that each student pursue an academically demanding schedule, with the goal of attaining admission to a post-high school institution.
