Guidance Counselors
Central High School’s counseling program recognizes the individual needs and aspirations of each student. In order to help each student reach his or her individual goals, counselors meet periodically with students to help them develop and implement a career plan.
Counselors are available to assist students and parents in educational planning and career decisions.
