COUNSELING DEPT. 

​

The Linden Board of Education provides guidance facilities and staff services to assist students and their parents in educational, vocational, and personal decision-making. The guidance staff consists of counselors and professional secretaries. All counselors are fully certified and have had appropriate training in counseling services.

​

Each student is assigned to a counselor who will work with him/her during his/her entire high school experience in the areas of scholastic, career, and personal matters.

​

Students who wish to see their counselor should make an appointment either before school or after school. In an emergency, a classroom teacher can issue the student a hall pass to see their counselor. In addition to student-initiated requests, counselors will periodically call students for conferences. Students are encouraged to consult with their counselors whenever necessary and make full use of the guidance services and facilities.

​

The College Information Center is located in the Guidance Office and is designated as a research area for students and counselors. Students and counselors work individually and in small groups to plan for post-secondary education and/or career planning.

Computer programs are available to assist students in their college planning and preparation. Linden High School also hosts college fairs to inform students of post-secondary opportunities.
