How Can My School Counselor Help Me?

Your school counselor is trained to help you with academic planning, college and career planning, as well as your personal well-being. Your school counselor cares about you and wants to help you reach your goals! We enjoy our time in guiding our students and take great responsibility in helping you achieve your post-secondary goals!

We are excellent listeners as well! We can support you through the challenges of being a teenager! We are trained in short-term individual counseling, group counseling, and crisis-intervention counseling.

The counseling center also hosts two amazing resources available to you, our MEF College & Scholarship Advisor, Mrs. Ferraro, and Mrs. Follins, our Collin College Counselor. We look forward to helping you!

How can I speak to counselors?

Counselors are available to speak with you in person, via email, or by the phone during school hours. If you are someone you know is harm’s way, please call 9-1-1.

Do I need to make an appointment?

You’re more than welcome to do so beforehand, but it’s not required. Counselors have an open-door policy.

Will I be marked absent from class if I see my counselor?

You will sign in to the counseling center and sign out of the counseling center, and your attendance will be coded accordingly.
