The high school counselors assist students and their parents in planning a meaningful program of education, career, and personal development. The counselors provide information to help students make appropriate decisions and to give students a means for expression of their interests, concerns, and talents. The counseling staff believes that the process of maturing involves a growing willingness on the part of the student to make choices and accept responsibility.
