School Guidance
6th Grade
8th Grade
Counselors are an integral part of the overall educational program, providing resources, programming, and leadership.
As counselors, we realize that optimal learning takes place when a student is free from emotional distractions. Therefore, we offer support in the realm of personal and social issues as well as educational and vocational goals.
Our counselors are available to all of the students. The choice of which one the student/family wishes to work with is theirs.
