HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM AND SERVICES
Students are alphabetically assigned to a school counselor for the duration of their high school years (based on the student’s last name). Together, the counselor, parents and student will build the relationship needed to better assist in academic planning, and goal setting as well as provide support toward the attainment of the college goals. Parents are encouraged to participate in the development of the student’s program of studies that maps the route to the chosen diploma option and graduation. In addition to the annual academic planning and course selection sessions, counselors provide programs to all students through classroom guidance, small group and/or individual sessions on topics such as study skills, test-taking strategies, decision-making and time management strategies. Counselors assist students and parents to address other issues that create challenges to academic success.
SPECIAL PARENT AND STUDENT WORKSHOPS
Each high school counseling program offers workshops for students and parents designed to enhance orientation to academic success, awareness of the college admission process, scholarship and financial aid opportunities, and transitions after high school. Counselors
support the regional college night program.
