The Counseling Program is an integral part of the total educational process at Archbishop Chapelle High School.  Its main purpose is to help students make adequate choices and adjustments for their spiritual, academic, emotional, and social development.

What is the Counseling Program?

The goal of the  counseling approach department is to help students become independent young women and give them the tools they need to become 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 department consists of four counselors who are available for individual counseling. At the start of  a student’s time at Chapelle, a counselor is assigned  alphabetically for personal and academic counseling, their counselor stays with them during their entire time at Chapelle. The counselors work with each student individually to help create a personalized schedule that best fits their academic strengths.  A College Counselor 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.

Our full time College Counselor is available to assist students in the college planning process.​ As early as freshman year, parents are given the opportunity to learn about college preparation and what they can do to help their students have the greatest success in college and beyond.
