WAB Learns: HS Counselor's Corner: HS Counselor's Corner

Thank you to those who joined the HS counselors throughout last week for our “What to Expect” series. We were excited to connect with you and share insights into the year ahead.

During the grade-specific sessions, we:

Reviewed curricula expectations for students.
Highlighted key areas of social-emotional learning and college/career development.
Discussed the challenges and opportunities in each grade level.
Introduced the support network of counselors, teachers, and advisors who will guide your child.
Shared tips for how you can support your student this year.

If you were unable to attend, you can access the recorded presentation here. We look forward to partnering with you to make these final two years of high school meaningful and successful for your student.
