GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT
The Counselor in the Guidance Department helps students select and schedule courses. The course selection process, however, is but one part of the department’s involvement in the total educational experience. The Guidance Department is committed to helping all students make the best possible use of their educational opportunities. For each student, this involves an ongoing examination of the self in a changing world. It means carefully selecting courses and then answering the question, "How does it all fit together for me and where do I want to go with it?”
Most students need some help with self-understanding, decision making and relating to others, as well as with obtaining information about course selection, careers, and further education. This help is offered by guidance counselors through individual conferences, group discussions and informational programs. It is also an aim of the Guidance Department to work closely with parents, teachers, administrators and others in the school and community. The greater the communication, the more opportunity there is for solving problems that may interfere with the learning process and for expanding resources available to students. This, in turn, should enable young people to contribute more fully to the community.
