    How Can Parents Access Counseling? 

    Due to extensive responsibilities with students, parents must call and make an appointment in advance to meet with counselors when the need arises. Availability is determined by individual counseling activities scheduled during the year. We will make every attempt to accommodate parents work and student schedules to be available. For an appointment or immediate assistance please contact Catherine Whitaker, East Hall ext 6676 or Jaqueline Moran, West Hall ext 6690.
        

    Student Support Groups on Campus 

    VMHS offers many activities and support groups on campus that can be accessed through the counseling team: PLUS, Link Crew, Breakthrough, and individual support groups (Grief, Anger Management, Healthy Relationships, Getting Connected, Study Skills, and Socialization)

     

    Career Counseling

     

    All students are guided through a four year career development plan that addresses the scope of the school to career transition. We give all students a number of opportunities to increase their awareness of their own gifts, interests, strengths, and develop their abilities as it applies to connecting to the world of work. Our counseling team targets the blending of the many forms of training & education, when working to find a match for your students career needs and dreams.
