College advising
Although group meetings and the college counseling class are very important, nothing can replace the value of the student-counselor relationship. Although students and parents are encouraged to speak with any member of the counseling staff at any time, the relationship is formalized during the second semester of the sophomore year. At that time students give their input to help to select their college advisor. Although it's never too early for a student to start meeting with college counselors, regular meetings begin during the second semester of the junior year. During the junior year the counselor and student will work together to first define college characteristics and qualities that would help a student to have a good experience and then to generate a list of colleges. During the senior year the counselor will help the student through the application and transition process.
