Program Information

  • Using Your School Counselor For a Better School Year:

    The purpose of the counseling program is to assist students (parents and guardians) in their academic, career, and personal/social development so they can be successful in school and at home. It is an excellent investment for every parent to learn about the services provided by the counselor and it is vital to discuss concerns you may have about your child with the school counselor.
