College, Career, and Military Readiness

    • Seniors: September

      • Sophomores: October-November

      • Juniors: January-February

Academic Planning
Counselors will meet with each student individually in late fall / early spring to plan for the next year.

Responsive Services

  • Students in crisis can seek support through the Counseling Center.  Counselors will work with families to provide the appropriate resources based on individual cases.

Social/Emotional Support

  • Whether it is a conflict with a friend or tragic event, the counselors are here to support students and families as needed.

Providing Resources

  • Students in crisis can seek support through the Counseling Center.  Counselors will work with families to provide the appropriate resources based on individual cases.


We encourage students to self-advocate prior to parent intervention. Parents can support their students in this by discussing what steps they should take to seek support for their needs. Please contact us with any questions that you may have.
