Guidance
The Guidance Department is dedicated to providing the guidance and counseling services needed to ensure that students will be able to maximize their potential and be able to achieve their educational and career goals. The Guidance Counselor provides a comprehensive developmental counseling program, which includes information about college, job placements, financial aid, technical study, work/study programs, and schedules for various tests. Several of these programs and activities of the Guidance Department are provided in group or classroom settings. A student can also meet privately with the guidance counselor to discuss education, career, or personal issues. The guidance counselor routinely requests appointments with students to review educational and career plans or to discuss issues that are of concern. The guidance counselor also assists students in planning their program of studies during the course registration process.
The Guidance Department also maintains a resource center with a wide variety of career information materials, catalogues, and videos of colleges and universities; and information on the Armed Services program is also available for student use.
