University Counseling

For all high school students, we offer grade-specific support throughout the year by creating awareness of universities and careers, assisting with researching university choices, and guiding students when they prepare their university applications. Our students also receive advice from alumni and information from university representatives. Our university guidance counselor is always happy to meet with parents and students to discuss progress toward graduation and future plans.
