What is the Counseling Program?
The Counseling Program is an integral part of the total educational process at Archbishop Chapelle High School. Its main purpose is to help students to make adequate choices and adjustments for their spiritual, emotional, social, and academic development. The counseling approach endeavors to help students to become independent young women and accept responsibility to function as mature adults. The program also strives to help parents and teachers understand the needs and developmental progress of the students, and to supply information, materials and consultative assistance aimed at supporting these efforts.
The Counseling Staff consists of four counselors who are available for individual counseling. A counselor is assigned alphabetically for personal and academic counseling. A College Advisor orients all grade levels to the college planning/preparation process. All communication between the student and the counselor is confidential. Students are invited to take advantage of the counseling assistance preferably by appointments or on a drop-in basis.
A College Resource Center is available in the Counseling Office to assist students in the college planning process.
