GUIDANCE & COUNSELING SERVICES
Bradford High School offers comprehensive services in guidance and counseling. The guidance staff is very qualified and is supported by a school nurse, a social worker, a school psychologist and a student assist counselor. In cases which require the resources outside of school, referrals can and will be made to community agencies to meet a student's need. The counseling staff strives to foster a close relationship with the parent/guardian and student to formulate a cooperative plan toward scheduling classes, resolving concerns and problems, and developing job, career and college plans. We encourage parents and guardians to initiate calls to the counselors whenever information is needed or a problem is detected.
An effective procedure to resolve academic issues and problems would be to address concerns in a conference with the student and teacher first. If the problem is not resolved, a conference involving the counselor (and possibly an administrator or dean) would be in order. Call the main office phone number to contact teachers: 653-6200.
The guidance and counseling department provides individual and group services. A partial listing of these services include: student scheduling and schedule concerns, personal guidance and counseling, problem solving, conflict resolution, assistance in monitoring credits, graduation information, college entrance exam information (ACT,SAT,PSAT), career assessment information, competency testing information for credit-deficient 18 year old students, coordination of on-campus visits by military and post-secondary representatives, coordination of career interest activities, and small group interpersonal development.
