Academic Counseling
The Servite Academic Counseling Department consists of four professional academic counselors, each assigned to
students of a specific grade level. Each counselor is a specialist in the issues and challenges of their grade level and is
available to help sort out the many choices and decisions a student must make from freshman through senior year. The department also includes a Director of Student Support who works closely with students who have a documented learning difference to ensure they receive the support they need to achieve academic success. The Director of Student Support and the School Psychologist collaborate to identify any additional assistance or support a student may require.
The Academic Counseling Department is available to students every day of the school year from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. We encourage all students and parents to contact the Academic Counseling Department at extension 1134, with any questions or concerns.
