The High Point Academy School Counseling Department will work with all students, school staff, families, and community members as an integral part of the education program. These services should be under the professional direction and coordination of qualified school counselors and the school’s principal's administrative leadership. The school counselor's role is to promote school success by focusing on academic achievement, prevention and intervention activities, advocacy, and social/emotional and career development.
Students at each level (elementary, middle, high) have an assigned School Counselor. You can click below to contact them.
