Mission Statement
The focus of the Lancaster High School Counseling Department is to promote individual responsibility and sounds decision making, while preparing students for college and career opportunities beyond high school. Working with families and community services, students are guided in areas of personal/social development and academic/career/post-secondary planning as they become responsible and civic-minded members of a diverse and rapidly changing world.
Students are encouraged to visit with the counselors for personal academic and personal guidance. The counselors are available to discuss social, school, or home concerns. Counselors can also assist with questions regarding studying tutoring, and testing programs.
