Students are encouraged to stop by the Counseling Center with any questions or concerns, especially before school, during lunch and after school school when the school counselors are most accessible. Students are also welcome to email at any time.

We welcome the opportunity to meet with parents/guardians of our students to discuss any concerns and/or answer any questions. Please note that a school counselor’s schedule can be a bit unpredictable, so it is best to schedule a time to meet by calling or emailing to schedule an appointment.
