Guidance
provides students with career and life choice advice. The counseling
staff assists students in developing a realistic appraisal of their
abilities, achievements, interests, and values. By learning about
themselves the students become aware of the consequences of actions.
To help in career choices the Guidance Department maintains a library
of catalogs and technical information including post secondary education
opportunities through the baccalaureate level.
Any senior student still needing to figure out their future plans are encouraged to schedule an appointment with their guidance counselor.
