From transitioning your child into the high school environment to preparing him or her for college or the workforce, the Kennedy Catholic Guidance Department plays an integral role in the educational, personal and social development of your sons and daughters. It is for these reasons that your guidance counselor is…

…a Consultant
     Each counselor meets with parents and teachers, serving as an advisor and advocate for your child. They are a source of information for parents and students alike.

…a Coordinator
     In addition to assisting with each student's schedule, the counselors schedule meetings with teams or specialists about programs that affect your child. In March, the Guidance Department also sponsors a Career Fair to give students an opportunity to learn about different careers from local professionals.

…a Counselor
     As their title suggests, each counselor meets with students individually and in group sessions, either by request or as determined by the department. Counselors also oversee the infusion of character development into the core curriculum, punctuated by periodic large-group skill sessions hosted throughout the year.

…a Confidant
     All conversations between you, your child and the counselor are confidential insofar as the law allows. In instances of physical abuse, sexual abuse, consideration of suicide and knowledge of a crime, your counselor is considered a mandated reporter.
