Celebrating the Class of 2023

The district and each high school are committed to supporting seniors to your next step. Our goal is for every graduating senior to have a post-secondary plan.

If students do not know how to reach out to their school counselor or college advisor, they can contact the virtual counselor, and he or she can help or direct them to the appropriate person. Students who have questions or need additional support can reach out to their school counselor/college advisor or contact the virtual counselor.
