How can I meet with my counselor? You can send an email to your counselor or you can have a teacher call for you to check when we are available and to sign-up. Your counselor will call you down from class.
What if it's an emergency? Please come to the front office or have a teacher call for you. Emergencies get first priority.
COUNSELING SERVICES
Our purpose is to support the development of all GHS students. We work to help students achieve the highest success in the classroom and in society. We can help with personal issues like stress management, relationships, grief, and conflict management skills; academic issues such as career and college planning support, academic motivation, goal setting, and planning schedules; and home life issues like handling divorce, family stresses, and homelessness. We are also here for times of crisis.
