THE DOOR TO THE COUNSELING CENTER IS ALWAYS OPEN TO YOU!
All students will have a yearly appointment with their counselor.
During that time, you'll have the opportunity to view your permanent record, discuss future plans, such as career or college preparation, and talk about any issues that may be of concern to you.
However, you do not need to wait until you receive an appointment slip from your counselor.
Simply stop in before, during, or after school between
7:00 AM and 3:00 PM to arrange for an appointment.

Our goal is to help you make the most of your school experience and to help
you prepare for a rewarding future.
