The Role of School Counselors
School counselors work to maximize student success, promoting access and equity for all students. As vital members of the school leadership team, school counselors create a school culture of success for all.
The HHS Student Services Department includes:
- school counselors
- school social worker,
- AODA prevention coordinator
- school psychologist
We address the needs of students in a comprehensive manner so they will have the opportunity to continue developing the skills necessary to learn and grow.
We work collaboratively to support all students in their:
- academics
- social/emotional learning
- career exploration
We provide this support through individual meetings, small groups, and classroom instruction. We are available through phone contact, email and by appointment. Please reach out for any questions or support you may need.
