The counselors provide services to the students in several ways: large group guidance, small group counseling, individual counseling, consultation, and providing indirect services. The domain areas of Personal/social Skills, Academic Success, and Career Exploration are targeted in all of the above mentioned ways.  Testing data, a yearly student needs assessment of the guidance program and student concerns as well other data are used to determine the direction of the guidance program for each academic year.
