It’s National School Counseling Week, and our counselors are celebrating by highlighting how they help students thrive. The “T” in thrive stands for “talk”. CHS counselors are available for students who want to talk with a trusted adult. The “H” in thrive stands for “help”. Our counselors can help us make plans, solve problems, and feel more confident and comfortable at school. To talk with your counselor, email her requesting an appointment or stop by Bridge West.
