School counselors are here to help and support you with personal, academic and college/career planning.

School counselors strive to empower all students to maximize their potential.  In partnership with other educators, parents, and community members, school counselors support the educational community to ensure all students are prepared with the knowledge and skills needed for success in an ever changing world.
