Counselors are specifically credentialed professionals who work in school settings with students, parents, other educators, and community agencies to help students acquire skills in the social, personal, educational, and career/vocational areas necessary for living in a multicultural society. In addition, counselors conduct enrollment conferences, arrange student schedules, and maintain student records. Counselors welcome the opportunity to talk with students and their parents. Parents may arrange conferences by calling the school.

There are two guidance counselors. Students are assigned to the guidance counselors alphabetically. To see a counselor, students should obtain an appointment request from the guidance department before school, during lunch, or Thursday, January 3, 2008 time. This process helps keep students from missing valuable class time while waiting for a counselor to become available. Students who have an emergency or crisis situation will be given priority. Students should report directly to the counselor's office or assistant principal's office for assistance.
