Mission Statement:  The mission of the guidance and counseling program at EHIS is to help students glow, grow, and go.  Students will glow by showing good character and encouraging others to do the same.  Students will grow by making improvements academically, socially, and emotionally.  Students will go by being positive, active, and preparing themselves for great futures as lifelong learners and productive citizens. 

·       Who should visit the school counselor?  Any student can visit the school counselor.  Students who have a problem that makes it difficult to get through the school day or do their best in all their subjects should definitely talk to the counselor.  Together, we can make things better! 

·       When can I visit the school counselor?  You can see the counselor just about any time!  Let your teacher know you would like to talk to the counselor, or drop by the counseling office.  We will set up an appointment and meet very soon.  If we need to talk more than once, we will set up weekly appointments.

·       What else does the school counselor do?  In addition to individual counseling, the school counselor leads small groups for students who are facing similar problems (like divorce, grief, depression, anger, etc.), and conducts classroom guidance sessions with all classes in the school.  In classroom guidance we learn about the Character Counts curriculum… and have lots of fun doing it!

·       How can a parent contact the school counselor?  Just call the school and ask to speak with me or click on my e-mail address (found at the top of this page) and drop me a line.
