School Counseling Office
Our philosophy is to encourage thoughtful, wise, and God-centered decision-making and goal setting by helping students to understand their gifts, personalities, interests, and values. The events that are supported by the School Counseling Office are a specific part of the 4-year plan, which is the framework for our academic advising program.
