Counseling at Huron is not just scheduling or problems! Brief counseling intervention and ongoing support is available for students experiencing problems to help explore solutions so the student may effectively alleviate problems in areas related to family, school, personal or social issues. Suggestions for external assistance for a variety of issues are available at request. Counselors also provide information and opportunities in the career pathways. Remember, your counselor writes your college recommendations. The better we get to know you, the better service and support we can provide. Stop by just to say “Hi”!
