The Role of a High School Counselor
At the very MINIMUM, counselors at the high school
level are responsible for ensuring that every student
takes the classes required for high school graduation.
We also offer parent/teacher consultation, brief individual
student counseling (academic and personal/social),
classroom guidance, college planning support, and
collaboration with educational stakeholders to work for
the benefit of each and every student in our school.

and giving it to Mrs. Alexander, Counseling Secretary.
• The counselor will meet with the student at his or her earliest
convenience.
• If the student has an URGENT NEED that must be
addressed ASAP, let Mrs. Alexander know.

voicemail or email.
