Counselors visit class rooms for orientation and scheduling purposes. The focus at the tenth grade is to continue work in academic courses and emphasize career planning. The Polaris Career Center Opportunities are also introduced this year with classroom visits and a field trip. The eleventh grade emphasis on a more serious look at post high school planning. College bound students take the PSAT and take part in a college information session.
Career shadowing is available for interested students.
Individual planning conferences are held with students in preparation for the Senior year. The guidance component at this level is two-fold. First, the counselor needs to insure that each senior has the necessary courses to meet the Berea City School District requirements for graduation. Often, there are referrals to make to the on staff Family Intervention Specialist or other sources of help for the students. This may involve school psychologists, case managers, etc.
