Welcome to the Counseling Office!
The Counseling Office is open for all students and their families from 7:55 am to 4:25 pm.
The mission of the Counseling Office is to promote student development and encourage personal/social and career development by working collaboratively with students, families, staff, and the community. Our counselors provide academic, socio-personal, and career/college support services to all students. We understand that all students need help along the way and we feel that the earlier we provide that help, the faster students get back on the right track. Below you will find the names and contact information of our counseling team, a listing of the major initiatives we will undertake, and some additional resources.
