PCHS COUNSELORS
During this time of distance learning, we know that there can be increasing stress for our students and families. Your school counselors are here to help! If your child needs to visit with us about anything, please have them contact us via email or submitting a request through our counselor check-in request. We’re here for parents as well! And you can request to talk with us through either of those same opportunities.

Success Ready Steps
While at home there are still things that our students can do to prepare them for the next steps after high school.
Seniors:
Have you completed the FAFSA yet?
FAFSA done, but you need to appeal the financial aid decision?
Scholarship Applications - Please carefully look over directions for submitting each scholarship and check back often for updates. For our local scholarships that were due to the counseling office, we are working with sponsors on the processes. We are now asking that some be submitted directly to sponsors, and many are extending their deadlines. We will be updating them as we hear back from each sponsor. Let Mrs. Ogden or Mrs. Brown know if you have questions.
Please check email and complete requested steps from your colleges/universities, military connections, or future employers
