School Counseling & College Advising

The School Counseling Department at Cardinal Gibbons High School plays a vital role in advancing the school’s mission of Catholic values, academic excellence, lifelong learning, and service by supporting each student’s academic, personal, social, and spiritual development. Guided by compassion and integrity, counselors walk with students throughout all four years, helping them navigate challenges, make meaningful decisions, and grow into responsible, faith-filled individuals.

In alignment with the school’s vision of "Elevating our Faith and Academics," counselors provide Christ-centered guidance lessons, one-on-one counseling, and faith-integrated academic planning. By nurturing each student’s potential and affirming their God-given gifts, the department fosters a school culture that values both spiritual formation and academic growth, preparing students to serve with purpose in college, career, and life.

Grounded in faith, our Counseling Team emphasizes well-being, self-advocacy, and spiritual growth. We remind students that high school is a journey, one where they can seek help, build confidence, and become the person God calls them to be. Go Chiefs!
