Saint Clement Junior/Senior High School Guidance Department

The primary goal of the counseling program is to help students succeed inside and outside the classroom by helping students make educated decisions and choices for themselves. The guidance counselor works with students on a one to one basis and in groups and as needed he works with parents and teachers for the benefit of the student. The counselor meets individually with students to discuss current academic progress, and other concerns, and to discuss post high school options including college, military service and work. He provides assistance to students with college and financial aid applications, transcripts, and recommendations needed for college. The counselor also plans the annual testing day for students.
