Academic planning consists of classroom presentations, four year planning sessions, group meetings with college representatives and individual sessions with parents and students. Scheduling and adjusting student programs is a major role of the counselors. Financial aid and scholarship information are part of academic planning. Career planning consists of administering career inventories, instructing students regarding available career pathways and making resources of the career center available to students. Personal and social issues are addressed through individual conferences as well as group sessions, which are facilitated by the counselors as well as the social work intern.
Counselors see students in classroom groups or by individual appointments.
Students make appointments with their counselor by coming to the student center before school, after school or at lunch. In case of emergency, students may see the guidance clerk for referral to the counselor. Students are encouraged to see their counselor if they have questions with any school or personal problems. If you do not know whom to ask, the student center is the place to start.
