School Counseling
Welcome! The Eureka High Guidance and Counseling Department is here to support our students! We utilize a comprehensive, developmental approach to address the academic, personal/interpersonal, career exploration and post-secondary planning of every Eureka High student.
When you come to the guidance office, you will first speak with the Guidance secretary. Once an appointment has been scheduled, a pass will be given to you. It is your responsibility to be there for your appointment. Keep in mind that there may be unforeseen delays, but the secretary will work with you to arrange a time that will work for both you and your counselor.
