Counselors
The counselors have a walk-in policy. Students wishing to visit with their counselor can just walk in to the Counseling Center. If their counselor is unavailable we have a purple paper on the front desk where students can request to see their counselor. Parents wishing to visit with a counselor can email or call to set up an appointment. WJH counselors meet with students daily for birthdays, meetings with parents, academic planning and concerns, social and emotional concerns, and any other needs that arise. They also spend time in the classrooms doing presentations. To learn more about what our counselors do, visit About WJH Counseling Center.
