No Problem Too Small The main objective of the guidance department is to consider each student as an individual. Perhaps this is what makes Stevenson's Guidance Department one of the best in the area. One of the most important functions is to assist the upperclassmen in choosing a college that best suits their individual needs. The de- partment also helps in vocational placement, testing, and applying for scholarships. In Stevenson's Guidance Department no problem is too small.
