School counselors provide counseling sessions in individual or small-group settings which:
help students overcome issues impeding achievement, future success or well-being
help students identify problems, causes, alternatives and possible consequences so they can make decisions and take appropriate action
are planned and goal-focused and are short-termed in nature
Group services offered to students and families are based on individual student, school, and community needs which are assessed through survey data, a referral process, or other relevant data. School counselors prioritize group offerings based on analysis of school data.
Our program includes specialized college and career planning services with student access to Naviance, a college and career readiness system, scholarship writing workshops, SAT test prep services, and availability of personalized time with a counselor to work with each student to plan for their next step.
Major Clarity
Whether it's matching colleges to a student's career interests, or comparing admissions rates at a student's top college choices, the Major Clarity's college planning tools allow students and families to make informed decisions. Students can explore and compare colleges and universities, and track the status of supporting application documents (transcripts and letters of recommendation). Plus, all of these tools are managed from one location, improving communications between students, schools, and parents and reducing paperwork.
The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and the gateway for students to receive federal, state, and institutional aid to help pay for college. Seniors and their families are encouraged to complete a FAFSA - based on prior year tax information - and submit it as soon after October 1 as possible.
