The Guidance and Counseling Center welcomes each student as a unique individual gifted with special talents. At SJCA, our counselors are committed to assisting with the academic, social, emotional and spiritual growth of every student. They strive to meet students at their level and to challenge them to reach greater heights. These goals are achieved through various opportunities and specific grade levels, such as one-on-one meetings between counselor and student, classroom presentations to all students, group workshops, and parent information events. At SJCA, our counselors are advocates for the students and their doors are always open.
This year, all college rep visits will be virtual. All visits will take place in the Counseling Center and students are asked to bring their laptops.
In-person learners must get a pass from Ms. Sallese in the Counseling Center prior to the visit. All virtual learners must contact Ms. Sallese directly and she will let your teacher know you are attending the visit. Ms. Sallese can be reached at (262) 654-8651 ext. 139 or ssallese@sjcawi.org.
For questions, please contact the counselors at counselors@sjcawi.org.
