About the Guidance Department

The guidance department exists for the sole purpose of helping each child to become a self-actualized individual. We are here to assist, clarify, guide, counsel, listen, support, and encourage children. We focus upon the emotional, social, educational, and psychological well-being of the student. As an advocate for children, we offer pro-active programs as well as reactive outreach. We concern ourselves with personal issues such as mental health, abuse, drugs, suicide, dealing with grief and educational issues such as class selection, career exploration, college applications, financial aid, and scholarships. We are here to serve the students, parents, faculty/staff, and the community. We serve through a variety of modalities including individual and group counseling, classroom guidance, focus groups, and special programs.
