PLHS Counseling Services

“High school years are full of growth, promise, excitement, frustration, disappointment and hope.  It is the time when students begin to discover what the future holds for them.  High school counselors support students in achieving optimal personal growth, acquiring positive social skills and values, setting appropriate career goals, and realizing full academic potential to become productive, responsible global citizens.” (American School Counselor Association)
