Welcome to the Counseling Department
Our mission is to promote access for all students to an academically enriched, student-centered environment. Counselors will deliver a comprehensive school counseling program to all students to enhance their academic, career, and social-emotional development. In collaboration with other stakeholders, counselors will support all students in becoming responsible, literate, thinking, caring and contributing citizens.
We encourage parents to call or e-mail their child's counselor with any questions they may have throughout the year. For questions regarding grades and your child's academic progress, please contact your child's teacher(s) directly.
