Guidance Counselors
Guidance Counselors
The Academy takes pride in our support services staff. Guidance counselors are vital part of student life. They help all students in the areas of academic achievement, personal/social development and career development, ensuring today’s students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow. They spend most of their time in direct contact with students.
We currently have two Academic Guidance Counselors and two Student Guidance Counselors, here is a little more about them and what they aim to provide our students.
Academic Guidance Counselors Office
Our academic guidance counselors are devoted to meeting the needs of our middle and high school students. In addition to one-on-one counseling. They conduct college advisory classes for high school students that are built in to the student’s schedule.
Our counselors aim to:
- Advise students and parents on high school programs and academic curriculum, preparing them for college application and admission.
- Help prepare students to enter the dual credit program along with their high school teachers.
- Plan and prepare students for college admissions tests, SAT and ACT.
- Provide workshops, classes, and special presentations that focus on career readiness and personal development.
