Welcome to the Counseling Center!

Summertime is here! Counselors will be out of the office until the 2nd week in August. Our Counseling Secretary/Registrar will be in the office most Wednesdays throughout the summer.

We look forward to working with you. Our goal is to help you prepare for graduation and to move into an interesting and meaningful career. We do this by helping you register for the classes that you need, advising you on subjects such as testing, college readiness, career readiness and connecting you to the resources that help you succeed.

We will update our school, state, and district related resources on our COVID-19 page regularly. Please visit the link below often.
