Through a variety of services, our school counselors work with students to do so much more than just help them figure out what they want to be when they grow up. Counselors work closely with students, their parents and teachers to support students academically, socially and emotionally so that they can reach their full potential in school and in their careers long after graduation.

Below, please explore some of the services that we provide to students and their families. Although these lists are not inclusive of everything that our counselors do, parents and students should always feel welcome to contact their counselor anytime they need help.

  • Teach students about interpersonal relationships and skills to help them be successful now and in their future.

Academic Support
