Counselor's Corner
HHS Counselor Newsletter
Welcome!
During the school year, we will create a monthly newsletter filled with information related to mental health, academic advising, college/career, etc. Each newsletter will be similarly structured with important upcoming events and programs.
What We Do
- academic advising and intervention
- college and career exploration and counseling
- personal counseling
- scheduling and class selection
- planning for graduation
We also assist students with personal concerns, problem-solving, being a new student at Hampton, healthy decision making, crisis intervention, conflict resolution, and substance abuse prevention. Ultimately, we are all here to support our students and their families; let us know how we can help! We look forward to working with you throughout the year.
