The Guidance Department at McAuley High School offers a comprehensive program of services, allowing us to assist students as they work through the many issues that may arise during their high school years. All counselors have earned a Master’s degree in guidance and counseling and are certified by the state of Ohio. The students may see their guidance counselor for:

personal counseling

college counseling

career guidance

scheduling and school issues

McAuley employs 3 counselors and one school psychologist. The counselors are assigned as follows:

The School Psychologist
The School psychologist tailors services to the particular needs of students and their situations. The core services may include but are not limited to consultation with teachers and parents; assessment of academic skills and learning needs; intervention in conflict or crisis situations; and preventative services in mental health education. Referrals to the school psychologist are coordinated through the Guidance Department.
