Counseling, Advising and Wellness
Counseling & Advising Department Mission
Sacred Heart Cathedral’s Counseling and Advising Program provides students, parents, and guardians with the guidance needed to navigate a challenging college-prep curriculum commensurate with the individual student’s gifts, talents, and aspirations. School Counselors support, encourage, and nurture students to develop academically, emotionally, and socially from adolescence to adulthood. College Advisors provide the knowledge and direction necessary for a successful transition from secondary school to college or university.
Counseling & Advising Department Goals
SHC School Counselors and College Advisors assist students to:
- Make mature decisions guided by the Gospel and teachings of the Catholic Church.
- Develop relationships with others predicated upon respecting the dignity of each person.
- Discern and practice appropriate personal and social behavior.
- Achieve personal and academic goals that lead to success.
- Navigate technology for college planning and ascertain collegiate options.
- Identify and pursue post-secondary opportunities commensurate with individual interests, talents, and abilities.
Our Counseling & Advising Model
We offer a specialized and comprehensive approach to serve SHC students and families. School Counselors serve students from the time they enter until the time they graduate from SHC. Beginning midway through junior year, each student also works with a College Advisor, who guides the student and family through the complex tasks of college research, application, and the financial aid process.
