MRS. THERESA LUTZ Director of Guidance MRS. BARBARA LUNDBERG Secretary GUIDANCE SERVICES One of the main objectives of our Guidance Department is to encourage the individual pupil to make the most of his abilities so that he might develop into a happy contributing member of society. To accomplish this objective we provide various services. Some of these are: 1. Counseling 2. Initiate and continue the cumulative record 3. Adjust pupils in their classes here at school or in areas of special training 4. Provide college catalogs for student use 5. Collect and distribute scholarship information 6. Supply information concerning finances for college or special education 7. Self-aids for college or special education 8. Provide beneficial group experiences 9. Administer and interpret an adequate testing program 10. Schedule pupils in classes 11. Arrange and conduct conferences with parents and teachers 12. Solicit the aid and recommendations of teachers Guidance services support and coordinate the other services of the school. We try to meet the needs of boys and girls which cannot be met through the instructional and administrative procedures. You might refer to these services as the hub of a wheel of interpersonal relationships among teachers, administrators, specialists, parents and other adults, and students. All of these relationships effect the life of the student. Some are good; others are harmful. Frequently the person becomes frustrated and needs the sympathetic but guiding help of a counselor.
