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.
