GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT
The primary purpose of the Guidance Program is to provide students with an
opportunity to help themselves. This is done by assisting them in developing a
better understanding of their capacities, capabilities, and goals. We hope this
self- knowledge will enable you to make positive, satisfactory adjustments to
the variety of experiences you will encounter in life.
School counselors help students and their families with a broad range of needs
related to education including emotions, interpersonal relations, social and
learning skills, graduation information, testing information and class schedules.
They assist with crises and problem situations. Counselors also coordinate with
community services agencies, address developmental needs, help with the
orientation of new students and provide information about school system
programs.
Appointments with a school counselor may be made with the guidance
secretary before or after school or during lunch. Counselors are also available
for informal interaction in the cafeteria during lunch.
