Guidance Office The problems of nearly 1,500 students require much at- tention—attention that the guidance staff strives to give them. Mr. Willis Sisson and our four counselors carry on an extensive guidance program that begins before students reach high school and continues until they leave. Through- out, the staff tries to keep particularly attuned to the in- dividual needs of each student, to appreciate his potential and hopes. Eighth graders from the high school’s four sending districts undergo a comprehensive series of tests to help guidance officers in advising them on a course of study during the next four years. Freshman Adjustment As freshman, students see their counselors regularly to discuss any difficulties encountered in adjusting to a new school situation. Counselors pay special attention to students who are not succeeding, attempting to discover reasons why they are not and to help them overcome problems. During sophomore year, students receive career counsel- ing. The Kuder Interest Inventory is administered, and the sophs thoroughly discuss the results with their counselors. For college prep juniors, the guidance department has de- veloped a series of group counseling assemblies to acquaint them with the procedures of applying to college and for scholarships. Mr. Sisson also meets with parents to intro- duce them to the same things. Senior Rush Seniors spend their time rushing madly about with college applications, high school transcripts, and scholarship forms. For seniors not planning college there are counseling ses- sions to assist them in finding a job. The guidance staff is constantly improving their services. The success of alumni and the consistently increasing number of students who continue their educations after high school are testimonials to Mr. Sisson and the other counselors.
