CHS Counseling Department

Welcome to the Counseling Department

Hello, students and families:

The mission of the Carmel High School Counseling Department is to support and enhance the academic, college and career, and social and emotional development of each student by working in concert with the greater school community inclusive of teachers, administrators, staff, and parents.

All students are assigned a school counselor who will work with them on issues including personal and social growth, problem solving skills, crisis management, course selection, and post-secondary planning. Counselors respect the confidentiality of the relationship they form with students and their families. They seek to understand the expectations and concerns parents have and advise accordingly. School counselors work in conjunction with the professional learning community collaborating to assist students to make the high school experience a rich and rewarding one for each student.

We look forward to working with you.
