New Face of The Counseling Dept
Three new counselors join SHS to assist students with guidance and support. They bring readiness to advise on academics careers and personal matters, aiming to boost student wellbeing and success across campus.
Changes in SHS counseling department this year
The reorganized department assigns each counselor about one third of each class and keeps the same counselor for a student’s SHS tenure. Counselors teach at least one class, advise in all categories, and assist with college or vocational planning and personal concerns.
