The Guidance Department at Bolton High School serves the students, faculty, parents, and the community. Realizing that each student has individual needs and abilities, our efforts are designed to prepare a competent, responsible, self-reliant individual who can function to maximum potential. The guidance program seeks to assist all students to mature in self-understanding, responsibility, decision making, and the development of values.
Counselors meet with all grade level students for assistance with course scheduling and grade information, graduation requirements, career planning, college and scholarship applications, tutoring, study skills recommendations, and testing programs. All counselors are also available to discuss any academic and personal concerns.
