Grade-level Counselors

If a student needs to talk with someone about a personal problem or a school problem, a counselor is available. Under normal circumstances, the procedure for seeing a counselor is:

1. Notify the teacher/administrator that you need to see a counselor.
2. Secure a pass to the guidance office.
3. If a counselor is unable to see you immediately, an appointment will be scheduled for you. Parents who wish to meet with teachers or counselors should call the proper grade-level counselor (355-2114) to arrange a conference. In an emergency situation, a counselor will see students immediately.

Career Counselors

Career counselors meet with students quarterly to help students identify areas of interest and to begin career exploration. Activities are designed to encourage students to evaluate personal skills and preferences, to set goals for career options, and to apply appropriate steps in education toward the achievement of those goals.

Mental Health Counselor

A full-time mental health counselor is available to students and their families through the Piedmont Mental Health Facility. Appointments can be secured through our guidance department.
