The purpose of the Guidance Department is to help students get the most out of their four years at WHRHS. Whether a student wishes to choose or change courses, needs help with future plans or a job or college, wants to find an activity that meets his interest, desires to learn more about his abilities, needs to cope with a personal or social problem, he will find his counselor to be a patient listener and questioner who can guide him toward finding the answers best for him.
In the privacy of the counselor's office, a student will always find an understanding listener for his concerns while trying to help him find the best ways of enjoying a happy and successful life at Watchung Hills. If a student has a problem that requires special help, his counselor will assist him and his family in finding ways to get this help.
Students may sign up to see a counselor during his study period or from Physical Education class with permission of the teacher.
