The Totino-Grace Guidance Services Department seeks to meet two specific developmental needs of students. First, the department helps students as they plan their futures. Second, the department serves the immediate academic and personal needs of the students. To meet these needs, the department has three high school counselors, a counseling therapist, a school psychologist, and a chemical health specialist. Guidance Programs Guidance programs which help students make post high school plans are offered at all grade levels.
Career planning is introduced to students as early as ninth grade with a career inventory.
The department uses computer resources for career and college planning and provides students with information on schools, careers, financial aid and scholarships. The department also plans a college night exclusively for Totino-Grace students with representatives from more than 30 colleges present. Counseling Programs Counseling programs are designed to help students with a wide range of developmental and academic concerns. As part of the department's mission to help students work through concerns and issues of personal importance, various support and growth groups are offered. The department also reaches out to parents with educational and referral programs.
