How It Works

Guidance Counselors

Guidance Counselors are available to help you in your transition to Honors High Online, and to help prepare you for your transition into the world after high school. They can help identify courses that meet your specific needs and interests, and map out a path to success, wherever you're headed. If you're bound for college, Guidance Counselors will help you through the twists and turns of the planning, testing, and application process. If a career is your destination, your counselor will help you use tools and self-assessment to identify jobs that match your skills and interests. Guidance counselors also provide support regarding both academic and personal speed bumps that might arise. Call or e-mail your counselor at any time, and remember to visit the Guidance Counseling section of the Learning Management System often for ongoing updates about career and college advice.
