Program Overview

The Guidance Department will provide assistance, information, and guidance regarding all academic plans for all secondary students, grades 7th-12th. 

We welcome parental and guardianship involvement, our unique design operates best when the core curriculum is designed to meet the academic needs, personal interests and long-term plans of our individual students.
