Our goal at FHS with regard to College and Career is to promote in all students a sense of purpose and an understanding of their unique interests, strengths, and limitations. School counselors will provide programs, classroom-based interventions, and group and/ or individual counseling that assists students in making well-informed post-secondary decisions and plans and focuses on integrating academic, technical, and employability skill development.
