Counseling

A student is assigned to a counselor upon entering ninth grade and remains with that counselor throughout high school. In addition to working with students in one-to-one and group settings, the counselors educate students through the F-M Guidance Curriculum. Students meet with their counselors in a series of grade-level seminars throughout the year. Post-secondary school planning and introduction to Career Center resources are important aspects of this program.

Counselors: Alphabetical Split

Students are assigned alphabetically to a counselor and will remain with that counselor throughout high school to assure a better understanding of the individual student and provide continuity in the student’s program.

That information can be found on page 80 of the Student Handbook.

All credit bearing courses, with the exception of private music lessons, are included in a student’s grade point average (GPA).
