How do I see my counselor?

  1. If you'd like to ensure your counselor will be available to meet with you, stop by the Counseling Suite to see Mrs. Carpenter. She'll set up an appointment for you, so you can discuss your schedule, college plans, or whatever your current needs might be.
  2. Some days are just rough. The Counseling Suite is a safe place for you to come to de-stress and breathe deeply. If you need to talk to someone right away, come on over. We'll connect you with someone who can help.
