Wheeler Counseling Corner

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.

Senior status letters were delivered last week in first block. Please contact your counselor if you have questions.

Grade level CTLS classrooms will launch next week.
