School Counseling Services
Counselors are essential educators and mental health professionals in the school system. We are growing graduates by teaching educational, career, personal, and social development at all ages!
Personalized Counseling continues for students! Remember, this year We are meeting with each student through individual meetings. This is a special time for students to tell us about themselves, their strengths, and their goals for the future.

College, Career, & Life Readiness "Wise Wednesday"
Dear Parents,
The graduation endorsement that students will learn about on Wise Wednesday during the 4th nine weeks is Arts & Humanities (4th 9 weeks). If you have a career in Arts & Humanities we need your help! We would love for our parents to be involved in our Den Time Career Exploration by recording a brief Flip Grid clip stating your name, your career, and a one sentence description of your career. Also, make sure and give a shout out to your kiddos! You can make your video fun by including your uniform, place of business, or a special vehicle you drive. This video will be shown to classes during Den Time on March 23rd. Visit www.flipgrid.com and type the join code below for your career area and guest password Grizzlies21. If you have any questions please contact your counselors. We are looking forward to learning about your careers!
