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.
