Our Mission

The mission of the St. Mary High School Guidance Department is to provide support and direction throughout the student’s time in high school.

The counselors work with students individually as well as in small groups to ensure all academic and personal goals are met. Additionally, counselors consistently act as liaisons to parents, teachers, administrators and staff to make sure that students are reaching their full potential. It is important to the counseling department, as well as St. Mary High School, that the students are able to leave here with the confidence, knowledge, moral and spiritual values to be successful in the next step that they take.
