Counselors will help young people learn how to accept responsibility for their commitments and for their academics and social needs. The Counseling program will provide an opportunity for students to learn to deal constructively with stress, to manage conflict, and to develop critical thinking skills. These objectives will be accomplished in a variety of ways: Large group orientation sessions, class meetings, small groups and individual counseling sessions.
Classroom resources and materials are posted to the course specific section of the teachers webpage. Class assignments, such as homework, tests, quizzes, projects, etc., may be posted in the Class News section or other section of the teachers webpage as well.
