Offices are in the Student Service Center, located in the main

| Seeing a Counselor
-- Students can easily make an
appointment to see their counselor. Each counselor has a
color-coded appointment book in the guidance reception area. To make
an appointment, students sign their name in an open slot during
their free or lunch period. Freshmen who schedule an
appointment can see the guidance secretary for a pass from study
hall. |
