From Counselor
The HS-Advancement Counseling Department is working to ensure both students and parents have the opportunity to connect with their assigned counselor!
Many parents have questions regarding academic progress, graduation requirements and college preparation that can easily be answered via email or by scheduling an appointment. While the first line of communication for many of these concerns should be your child’s teacher, counselors are also available to help guide you and your child through high school. Parents can click HERE or scan the QR code to gain access to the Advancement Counseling Department Information Request Form where they can either ask their questions or schedule an appointment with their child’s counselor.
Keep in mind counselors do not accept walk-in appointments but are happy to respond to any inquiries submitted through this form within two (2) business days. We look forward to partnering with you in ensuring your child’s preparation and success during high school and college!
Additional Reading & Writing Tutorials
Mr. Young will hold tutorials on Thursdays until 4:00 PM for students who need additional English EOC preparation, general reading and writing help, or whose teachers are not available at that time. The tutorials will be held in room 415.
All grade levels are welcomed.
