A School Counselor is not a doctor or a psychologist. School Counselors meet with you, the student, to help you sort through problems that might be happening in your day-to-day life. Let's face it; we are all faced with problems in our lives! Sometimes there are problems that need even more attention than a school counselor can offer. School Counselors work with other people in the field of psychology to assist students and parents in working through some difficult personal or family concerns.

How do I see the Counselor?
Students can see their School Counselor during the day by asking their teacher to go to the Counseling Office, during break time or during lunch.
Where is the Counselor's office?
The offices are in the back of the Administration Building, by the bike rack.
Am I in trouble if I see the School Counselor?
When you receive a slip with your Counselor's name on it, it does not mean you have been called in because you are in trouble or "bad". In fact, a counselor is an adult who acts as your advocate! An advocate is someone who wants to listen to what you have to say and help you come up with reasonable solutions to making your situation better. It does not mean that your counselor can solve the problem for you; it does mean that you have a safe place that you can go to when you are not sure what to do.
If you are having trouble with a peer:
1st: Please be sure to talk to them about it. Use your words to support them or tell them to stop,
Next: Get an adult if the situation continues or gets worse. To get help from an adult, you can:
A) Talk to your parents
B) Talk to a teacher
C) Talk to a counselor
D) Talk to an administrator
E) Fill out an incident report online or in the counseling office.
F) If you or a friend are having suicidal thoughts, you may visit link or call 1-800-273-8255
