Students: Your counselors are here to help!!  If you wish to see your counselor you may fill out the online request below each counselor's contact information.  Please allow 1-2 school days for a response. Your counselor will call you down as soon as they are able after your request is received.  

If your request is an emergency, please stop by the counseling center at your earliest convenience.  Outside of school hours, speak with a trusted adult or call 911 in the event of an emergency.  Do not fill out an online form for emergencies.
