School Counseling

CB East School Counseling Department

Central Bucks High School East's school counseling team strongly supports the academic performance, career development, and personal/social growth of each student. Our goal is to assist students in their pursuits and to support them in the decision-making process. We are committed to creating an atmosphere of encouragement so that each student is empowered to set and pursue goals as they prepare for their future.

As school counselors, our job is different from teachers and principals, yet we all work closely as a team to support students and help them succeed.  We follow our class from 10th through 12th grade and then re-start with a new group after graduation.  School counselors play three main roles in the school.  They are:  Academic Advising, Coordination of Services, and Responsive Counseling.  Below we briefly describe these roles so you will have a better understanding of how we help students at CB East.

Academic Advising includes:

• Program planning (scheduling, picking classes, etc.)
• Academic difficulties
• Post-Secondary planning

Coordinating of Services includes:

• Team meetings
• Link to resources
• College liaison

Responsive Counseling includes:

• Individual counseling
• Crisis response
• Consultation with parents, teachers, and other educators
• Ongoing groups
• SAP (student assistance program)
