College and PERSONAl Counseling

The Counseling Department consists of seven counselors who provide Jesuit students with academic, personal, and college counseling at each grade level. Students have access to three full-time college counselors who directly assist students and their parents in the college selection process. Three additional grade-level school counselors and a resource counselor work with students for the purpose of enacting positive changes in the areas of educational, social, emotional, and/or behavioral functioning.

Beginning freshman year and continuing through the senior year, counselors implement a curriculum that is developmental, flexible, and responsive to the specific trends and needs of each grade level. The Counseling Department supports the Jesuit goal of graduating young men who embody the principles of the “Grad at Grad" – Open to Growth, Intellectually Competent, Religious, Loving, and Committed to doing Justice.
