Counseling and Guidance

There are two school psychologists, a part time social worker, and a guidance counselor at Eagle Hill; yet, all staff members are considered as resources for providing emotional assistance to students. Counseling services are available to all students and to the staff. Services are provided on an indirect, consultative basis - via teachers, advisors and/or parents - or directly with the students. Students can access the counseling staff as drop-ins, or through their teachers or their advisors for issues of a more immediate nature. Some students are assigned to counselors based on previous history, parent discussion and/or as a result of advisor/teacher recommendation. Counselors meet with their students at a schedule determined by the nature and scope of the presenting issues, usually in weekly, forty- minute sessions on a pull-out basis or during lunch periods. Sessions may be individual or group.
