As Guidance Counselors, our best efforts focus on advising and counseling students toward a high school experience of academic success and achievement mixed with positive personal growth.  Our students' transition from school to careers, whether it leads to college, community college, trade school, apprenticeships, or the military, is a partnership between student, school, and parent.

GOALS:

Students at Thornridge High School receiving guidance and counseling will:

	understand their talents, abilities, and academic skills
	understand career opportunities
	understand post-secondary schooling / training options
	understand how to cope and adapt to the complexities and challenges presented by modern society
	understand how self-concept affects their success as individuals and learners

Staff, parents, and the community will receive information and have access to guidance programs and activities important to student success.
