This year, the Counseling Department has some new faces and your counselor may have changed. Find your counselor by clicking below!

Check it out HERE!

The Counseling Department has a Calming Space located in the College and Career Center. If students find that they need a safe space for a brief, yet intentional break to defuse anger, re-center outside of the classroom, or deescalate emotions/anxiety before becoming overwhelmed, they should ask their teacher for a pass and check in at the Counseling Suite front desk.

There are 5 WEEKS LEFT in this semester. Make the final weeks count! Please let your counselor and teachers know if you're facing obstacles that impede your academic success. If your current grades are unsatisfactory, now is the time to take action! Use the upcoming break to recover assignments. Attend tutoring. Dedicate additional time to studying. Talk to your teachers about your misconceptions. Ask more questions in class. Do whatever you can do to ensure success in each and every class! YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!

Apply to College Day was a huge success! On Wednesday, November 6th, 40+ students gathered in the Media Center to complete college applications while receiving assistance from Counselors and College Representatives from the University of West Georgia, Kennesaw State University, Columbus State University, and Chattahoochee Tech. Look out for information about our 2-Year/Technical College and Trade event in the Spring!

The November holiday break is near. If you have a college application deadline during the first week of December, please submit transcript and recommendation requests by November 15th in order to ensure submission by the deadline. Please remember to pay for transcripts in MyPaymentsPlus, EMAIL your Counselor if the school requires a COUNSELOR recommendation, and ensure your brag survey is complete. View the "Counselor Recommendations" and "Transcript Requests" sections below for additional details and instructions.

*Counselors will not submit transcripts or recommendation letters over the break.

Contact your Counselor via email with a written request for a college letter of recommendation. Give at least two week's notice before the deadline.

There is a new process for SAT fee waivers. You must request fee waivers through your College Board account. It could take 2-5 weeks for the College Board to process and approve the waiver. If you are planning to take the SAT using a fee waiver, go ahead and request the waiver now, so you will have it in time for October and future registration deadlines.
