Counseling Center

SHS counselor with student

Comprehensive school counseling is an integral part of Springfield High School’s total educational program. Our goal is to establish a powerful, culturally responsive, continuous, and coordinated program through which students achieve academic success, social emotional development, career development, and community involvement. We are committed to providing equitable access to education for all students. The role of our school counselors is to help each student prepare for postsecondary opportunities and life after high school.

The program is under the supervision of our principal and led by professional school counselors with the involvement of teachers, families, and community resources to assist students in their academic, social, and career development.

Counseling, guidance, and instructional activities are designed to achieve student growth in alignment with district goals. These activities are developmentally appropriate, promote positive mental health, and take into consideration the student’s year in school, current achievement level, individual characteristics, and career objectives with sensitivity to the unique needs of historically underserved populations including students of color, students with disabilities, and emerging bilingual students.

For questions or to schedule an appointment, you can call the General Counseling Center Line at 541-744-4787.
