Counseling
Department
Overview
The Counseling Office is
located in the main office building. Counselors are available to
help students with any problem which might arise. If you need to see
your counselor for any reason, obtain a "Request to See
Counselor" form from the counseling secretary. Your counselor
will send a pass to one of your classes for you to come to the
Counseling Office. Please see the counseling secretary, give her
your pass, and be seated quietly until your counselor is available.
If it is an emergency, please write so on the request.

Elective
Courses
Each spring, our counselors meet with 6th and 7th grade students in
their elective classes to discuss the various elective courses
that will be offered in the upcoming school year. During this
meeting, students will receive their elective scheduling
cards. These cards
need to be completed and returned as soon as possible to the student’s
current elective or
wheel teacher. If you have any questions, please contact the
Counseling Department at (619) 465-3234.
