National School Counseling Week
This is National School Counseling Week. Please take a minute to email or write your child's counselor and thank them for their hard work. Even better, have your seniors write them and thank them for writing college recommendations and helping them get through the college application process. Our counselors and their support staff provide a variety of resources to help students achieve academic success in high school and help plan for a positive future in college and careers.
Click here for our counselors' contact information and thank your counselor today!
