The Governor's School students are individuals with varied needs and concerns. They are competitive and motivated students, for whom excellence is a standard. Guidance and counseling provides support through a variety of resources while centering on the student as an individual. The primary concerns are the needs of the student. In essence, the program emphasizes individual and personal counseling.
Time is available for students to confer individually with the counselor.
The Governor's School student has many college and career options. The counseling program is designed to aid students in the investigation of their options to result in sound career, college and scholastic decisions. Our counselor is concerned with assisting the student in the exploration of alternatives. Another important program area is the transition of new students to a different environment. New students find themselves exposed to unfamiliar types of teaching and learning requiring new study skills, time management practices, priority setting, career exploration, and other new challenges.
