- What is Cognitive Overload and How Counselors Help?

- Ongoing Resources

Occasionally different organizations come to York Junior High wanting to assist our students and families with having a memorable holiday season. Most programs are limited and are based on the resources available. We know that we have families that are in need. Don't hesitate to reach out to your grade level counselor.

If you are a family in need or a family that would like to help someone during the Thanksgiving or Christmas season, please contact your grade level counselor.

Your information is always kept confidential. Please let us know how we can help you!

During this week we are bringing awareness to options students should pay attention to as they go through their academic journey. All over Texas, students are stepping up, finding their voices, and fueling the movement called Generation TX. With equal parts of inspiration and information, Generation TX (spoken “Generation Texas”) connects us to each other and clarifies the steps we need to take on the path to college and career education, from taking the right classes and tests, to applying to colleges, and then finding the money to pay for school. Please help us celebrate during this week through our feeder zone dress up days listed below.
