Counseling

The SHC Counseling Department extends a warm welcome to all students and their parents/guardians. Counselors are dedicated to ensuring that each student maximizes his or her potential so that he or she may be empowered with skills and information to make educated choices for the present and future. Toward this goal, parents are encouraged to know their child’s counselor so that all may work in partnership for the well-being of each student.

Entering students are assigned a counselor with whom they will continue to consult until graduation. Counselors meet with students individually to get to know them as unique individuals and provide guidance tailored to their specific needs, as well as in groups to provide information relevant to social and academic adjustment, curriculum and college preparation and planning.

Understanding that the developmental stage of adolescence can be challenging, our Counseling Department works to ensure that the transition from adolescence to adulthood is as smooth and as fluid as possible. To help bring about a seamless transition between the SHC secondary school experience and collegiate matriculation, parents are invited to discuss with their child’s counselor any issues or concerns they may have regarding the academic, personal, emotional or spiritual development of their child.
