How do high school counselors help you?

High school counselors provide services to ALL students, not just ones in crisis. We meet with you in September during English class.

Why would I meet with my counselor? Career Personal Academic

CAREER COUNSELING  Develop a four year course plan to meet graduation requirements and to be competitive for college admissions.  Help to identify a career cluster that matches your talents and skills through personal interviews and computer interest inventories with WISCareers  Help arrange a job shadow to explore career options.  Help choose the college/tech college that fits your future goals and academic potential.

CAREER CONCERNS Where can I go to school for marine biology? How do I become an electrician? When do I apply for college? Where do I find scholarships? How do I enter the military? … I don’t know what I want to do!

PERSONAL COUNSELING  School counselors are not therapists.  We are here to listen and provide support.  Help you problem solve through tough stuff.  We ask for your truthfulness, cooperation and an open mind to options.  Contact us if you have a topic for a group.

PERSONAL CONCERNS I’m really worried, my Dad got laid off and we might lose our house…. I have a friend who is cutting.… My boyfriend gets angry at me sometimes and he scares me…

Confidentiality What information is confidential? Alcohol and drug concerns Family and personal issues What must counselors legally report? Harm to self or others, or any abuse Information we communicate to parents Grades, attendance, discipline referrals, teacher concerns, graduation progress

ACADEMIC COUNSELING  Individual conference with you regarding graduation credits and planning for college.  Encourage you to challenge yourself academically - not take the easy way out!  Help you understand test scores in relation to future planning and course sequencing.  Assist you with problem-solving: academic struggles, test-taking, general anxiety, etc.  Help students consider options if they fail a class.

ACADEMIC CONCERNS I want to get into a good college, what classes do I need to take? How do the EXPLORE and PLAN tests help prepare me for college? I need a math tutor. How many credit do I need to graduate? I failed a class, what do I do now?

Want to increase your chances for high school success?

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY –Attend school every day –Come to class with a positive attitude, the proper materials and respect for others –Check your grades on Infinite Campus –Get involved in your school & community It is your education and your future!

PHS Graduation Requirements 4 English credits 3 Social Studies credits 2.5 Math credits 2 Science credits 1.5 PE credits.5 Health credit 3 credit Concentration (art, music, etc.) 7.5 Elective credits Total = 24
