Each Small School will have one counselor devoted to the regular guidance duties and responsibilities. Regardless of their role, Heights High Guidance Counselors have an enormous impact on student achievement. Each counselor will collaboratively promote Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships through guidance services for ALL students.

Small Schools Counselors will

• Develop and monitor a four-year plan with students during their freshman/entry year
• Provide transitional guidance and support during the foundational years (Grades 9 and 10)
• Monitor student achievement and growth
• Maintain regular two-way communication with parents and/or guardians
• Conduct regular proactive behavioral guidance
• Advocate for students to staff in order to remove barriers to learning
• Help students formulate individual post-high school education plans

Students and parents seeking guidance support should first contact their Small School Guidance Counselor.
