Guidance / Counseling
The SHDHS Counseling Department assists students with their academic, college and career, as well as social/emotional development through both individual counseling and group/classroom guidance. Each grade level is assigned to a counseling staff member who works with that grade to help ensure success across all areas of development. The department uses assessments (HSPT, ACT, PSAT, AP, National Language Exams) to guide and inform all stakeholders of student progress, and curriculum development.
Counseling staff members are also available to meet with students and parents by appointment to discuss academic/college planning, or develop strategies to meet student needs in the areas of social and emotional wellness. A variety of interactive guidance sessions, emails, and other correspondence are provided throughout the year for both parents and students.

Seniors will take their exams the same time as everyone else. Exam schedules will be posted throughout the school when the time comes. Senior failures will be turned in to the office as soon as grades are available. Seniors will then be notified.
