Lockport Township High School is staffed with a variety of individuals who are trained and experienced in providing guidance and support to students. Guidance counselors, deans, school social workers, nurses, and school psychologists recognize that the social and emotional wellness of students is essential for learning.
💬 Need Support? Students can request an appointment with a guidance counselor or social worker.
Guidance Counselors advise students in choosing their classes each year. They can also assist students in developing study and organization skills. Students facing academic challenges can turn to counselors for additional resources and tutoring options.
Planning one’s future can be intimidating. Counselors are available to guide students as they explore their interests and options. Students can get help with planning for higher learning, completing college applications, accessing financial aid, and preparing for the ACT and SAT.
Sometimes families need support that goes beyond the in-school resources available. Counselors and social workers can help students and families seeking services to deal with mental health, addiction, and a host of other crises and hardships.
School nurses address major and minor health concerns experienced by students. They also maintain records for physicals and immunizations to ensure a safe environment within the school.
