The Guidance Department provides a very important service to the total school population. Students, parents, and teachers are encouraged to use the services at any time.

The counselor's door is always open to students who need advice on matters pertaining to school, personal problems, future occupations or educational plans. Likewise, the counselors are happy to talk to parents needing information concerning such as financial aid, scholarships, college entrance exams, testing dates, scheduling and other issues associated with school.
