Welcome to the Voorheesville Central School
District's Counseling Program. Our goal is to assist children and their
families throughout high school.
Guidance and advisement as to course selection,
academic programs, and career planning is offered between ninth and
twelfth grades. As students prepare for life after high school,
attention is placed on the options of college, employment or military
service. The college selection process involves choosing a school that
meets the abilities and interests of each student. We can also assist in
the financial aid process.
Counseling services address personal crises, peer
interactions, and other issues of mental health. Consultation services
include assistance in parent/teacher communication and referrals to
community resources.
The school psychologist is an integral part of our
team of counseling professionals. She works with students and families
who may be experiencing academic, behavioral, social and emotional
difficulties and helps generate plans to help students succeed in the
academic environment.
