The Community High School Counseling Department aims to support all students in navigating high school successfully by attending to their personal, social, academic, and career goals. We strive to help students build self-awareness and discover their individualized path following graduation. We offer group and one-on-one counseling to support students in navigating personal challenges; selecting courses that align with their post-secondary goals; searching for and deciding upon best-fit college and/or career opportunities; removing barriers to ensure full access to post-secondary institutions; and locating community resources to succeed in high school and beyond.
