Guidance Services

As an integral part of the total education program, guidance and counseling services are concerned with the study, understanding, and adjustment of every student. The services are designed to assist students in developing their individual potentials and to assist school personnel, parents, and community in providing opportunities to students to obtain an education best suited to their potential and goals. These basis services include:
1. Individual and Group Counseling
2. Educational and Occupational Planning
3. Pupil Appraisel (Testing)
4. College and/or Job Selection
5. Parent and Staff Conferences
6. Referrals
7. Follow-Up and Local Research
8. Student Registration and Scheduling
The primary purpose of education is to help each individual become increasingly self-directive and capable of creative and purposeful living. We accept the fact that each student is an individual with individual goals. It is the task of the Guidance Program to help each student fulfill his/her own potential for growth.Parents, teachers, administrators, the guidance counselor, and other school and community personnel have roles in the guidance program. All of these persons, who in various ways are concerned with students, help students meet their special needs, explore or pursue selected goals, maintain good emotional health, and develop an appropriate set of values.

Guidance is a process of aiding total growth and focuses on student development educationally and occupationally.
