Guidance
The Guidance Department at St. Francis DeSales High School is comprised of four counselors, each of whom is assigned students at each grade level according to their last names. Students and counselors will continue to work together throughout their high school career. School counselors advocate for the needs of all students by providing guidance and support to maxamize each students potential and academic achievement while ensuring that they are prepared academically and socially with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute at the highest level as productive members of society. As counselors, we take pride in being a vital link in our school to the academic, career, personal and social development for all of our students.
