SHDHS Counseling Department

The St. Henry District High School Counseling Department (SHDHS) provides services to help students grow academically, socially, and spiritually. The counseling staff are professionally trained educators who work in the best interest of each student. Counselors work with students individually, in small groups, and in grade-level meetings to provide programming that encompasses academic, social/emotional awareness, college/career/vocational advising, and standardized testing.

Upon enrollment at SHDHS, each student is assigned to a counselor who collaborates with parents, administration, faculty, and advocates for students to promote equity, access, and success. Professional confidentiality guidelines are maintained in all student and parent-counselor interactions.
