Langston Hughes High School
Counseling
COUNSELING CENTER SERVICES
The counseling staff is committed to providing services and support to students, school staff, parents and school community to help each student achieve his/her goals. Counselors work with students individually and in groups to aid in personal, social, career and educational development. A student's counselor assignment is based upon the first letter of their last name. Each student at LHHS is also assigned to an advisement with a faculty advisor. Counselors often disseminate information through these groups.
COUNSELOR APPOINTMENTS
Throughout the school year, counselors arrange meeting times with students and/or parents to discuss academic status, graduation evaluations, and college exploration. At other times, students are encouraged to make an appointment to meet with their counselor, except in crisis situations. Appointments can be made before school, between classes if time permits, during lunch, or after school. Appointments can be arranged through the guidance office secretary in person or by calling 770-774-3635. Students are responsible for securing an appointment confirmation from the counseling office and MUST have permission from the teacher before leaving the classroom. A counselor is available each day during lunch for students to drop in (during their assigned lunch period) with questions without an appointment.
