Falmouth High School Guidance Department
The members of the Guidance Office staff are concerned with students’ academic, career, personal and social needs. We encourage the maximum development of every student. We want students to receive the information and support that they need to move toward self-direction and self-development. Every student has the right to understand the full magnitude and meaning of his/her educational choices and how those choices will affect future opportunities. The comprehensive guidance and counseling program at Falmouth High School includes a strong emphasis on working jointly with all students to develop academic and career goals. These plans are reviewed regularly to update students and their parents regarding critical information you need to make informed decisions.
Appointments/Confidentiality
Our goal is to address the academic, career, personal and social needs of all students through a planned and comprehensive guidance and counseling program. We work in collaboration with parents, teachers, and other professionals to insure that each student receives guidance and counseling services in an effective and timely manner. Students will participate in planned activities throughout their four years at Falmouth High School. In addition to these planned activities, students have access to guidance and counseling services upon request and may schedule an appointment at any time by seeing Mrs. James, the Student Services Receptionist, or their counselor. Appointments will be scheduled at the earliest available time, and typically during a study period. Priority will be given to concerns requiring immediate attention. Students who make appointments in advance should expect a Guidance Pass to be issued to them through their Advisor.
Each student has the right to privacy and we will keep information shared in the counseling relationship confidential unless disclosure is required to prevent clear and imminent danger to the student or others or when legal requirements demand that confidential information be revealed.
