A prime function of the School Counseling and Admissions Department is to help students begin a realistic appraisal of their abilities, achievements, interests and values so that they will be better able to make intelligent, personal, occupational, and educational decisions. All students need to be aware of the alternatives to and consequences of their decisions, and a counselor will provide them an opportunity to assess their situations.

The School Counseling and Admissions Department maintains a library of catalogs and vocational information for students' use. These catalogs include those on vocational programs and two and four year college brochures.
