In brief, guidance counselors are generally the first contact for teachers, students and parents when there is a concern for the educational or career development of a particular individual. Guidance is a resource for parents and guardians in helping to understand and relate to adolescence.
How do you reach us?
Counselor assignments are determined alphabetically by House. Specific information about a student's counselor may be obtained by contacting the Guidance Office or simply click here.
Classroom instruction is extremely important and cannot be replicated. For that reason, counselors cannot meet with students during class time. It is best for you to visit your house office and schedule an appointment time during a free period (lunch, study hall or after school) to meet with your counselor.
We are also in the building after school and are here to help when you need us!
