Annual Programs
The Guidance Department is concerned with the academic development and personal wellbeing of all students. We offer assistance with course selections, credit requirements, standardized testing, college planning, college applications, financial aid, scholarship searches, and other school-related issues as well as personal needs. Calendars, newsletters, announcements, and online postings throughout the year alert students and parents to upcoming events. Specifically, the Guidance Department plays a role in the following programs.
