Counseling Office

  • Our school counseling program is a vital part of the education process. We provide a comprehensive and developmental setting in which students are a priority and the school counselor is an advocate. This entails the counseling program and counselors addressing and promoting academic, career, and social/emotional development of each and every student.

    Confidentiality

    The foundation of the student/counselor relationship is trust. Therefore, all information shared from the student to the counselor will remain confidential. The only exceptions to this are:

    • if there is clear and present danger to the student or others
    • if the student consents to it
    • if this information is required by a court of law

     

    Counseling Resources

    Valley Southwoods students are automatically added to a Canvas course that provides more information on Naviance, social emotional learning, mental health resources, and guidance when registering for courses at Valley High School.

  • Southwoods Counselors

    Valley Southwoods Counseling Department has two full-time school counselors. The students are assigned to a counselor based on the first letters of the student’s last name.
