The PCHS Guidance Program provides activities, interventions and services which assist students in achieving their maximum personal development, both as individuals and learners. Guidance and counseling are vital components of the educational process which helps students recognize their needs and abilities, and develop strategies to realize their full potential. The primary role of the guidance department is to implement a developmental guidance program that will provide students with expanded career, college and self-awareness exploration activities, to assist them in the development and utilization of short, and long range, education career plans and help students acquire skills in the education, personal and career areas necessary for living in the multicultural society. The guidance counselor acts as a student advocate and works closely with other educators, parents and community members to provide opportunities for students to develop self-understanding, self-evaluation and self-direction in order to lead productive, fulfilling lives.
