Grayson’s Guidance and Counseling Program strives to support the academic knowledge and skills and emotional growth of each student. Guidance is defined as helping all students receive support from parents, teachers, counselors, and others to make appropriate educational and career choices. Counseling is helping some students at certain times receive support from credentialed professionals in order to help them overcome personal and social problems which may interfere with their learning. Counselors promote academic improvement and development, build student assets, interact with government agencies as mandated by law, and give assistance to students, parents, and teachers in adjusting to the stresses of school life. Students are assigned a counselor alphabetically by last name. A graduation coach and a career specialist are also available to assist students.
