The Mission Of the Manchester High School
Counseling Department
The Mission of the Manchester High School Counseling Department is to provide support for student achievement as part of comprehensive guidance for all students. As the Counselor at MHS I will work in partnership with parents, teachers, administrators, and the community to help facilitate student development in education, social, personal, and career domains. Counseling services will be provided in a safe and positive environment with a focus on promoting responsible, productive citizens, and academic achievement to support a successful transition from school to work.
This mission is accomplished through:
1. MHS Teachers as Advisors program.
2. www.gafutures.org, and GCIS
3. Individual counseling with the Guidance Counselor:
A. Individual Student Planning:

• Career Planning
• Problem Solving
• Transition Plans
• Crisis Intervention
B. Classroom Guidance:
• Academic Skills Support
• Organizational, Study, and Test-Taking Skills
• Post-Secondary Planning
• Career Planning
• Career Awareness and the World of Work
• Conflict Resolution
C. Responsive Services:

• Peer Facilitation
• Consultation and Collaboration with Community Agencies
• Referrals
D. System Support:
• Individual Parent Collaboration
• Group Presentations
• Professional Development
• Consultation, Collaboration and Teaming with Parents/Faculty/Administration
Remember, anything that we talk about is confidential--unless I feel that
you are in danger (to yourself or to others). I will only share your
feelings with someone else, like your parents or teachers, on your request.
I invite you to come by my office anytime you need me. Let's talk!!!
