A Note From The Principal

Dear Families,
Believe it or not, our Seniors are down to their last 5 weeks of school! This can be a stressful time as your child moves on to the next stage in their life. We encourage you to enjoy these next few weeks and celebrate everything that comes with your child's graduation.


A couple of quick reminders:  

Senior Awards:  Our Senior Awards will be held on May 16th. Please note that this event is by invitation only for seniors who are receiving an award or scholarship. If your child is set to receive a scholarship, please have them access their Google Classroom and complete the required form with all necessary information by Friday, April 25th.


Junior/Senior Prom: The Prom is scheduled for May 3rd. Please remember that tickets must be purchased by April 25th in order for your child to attend.
As always, thank you for entrusting your child’s education to us at Harper Creek. Our school is a point of pride in the community because we get to work with your child.

HCHS_Counselors

Harper Creek High School Counselors make every effort to meet the academic, postsecondary, and social emotional needs of every single student at HCHS. We aim to do this by providing individual, small group, and classroom counseling sessions to students across diverse topics as frequently as possible. School Counselors will work with students and parents on scheduling, navigating the complexities of postsecondary planning, career exploration, and managing personal issues. 

School Counselors will also help students to complete their Educational Development Plans (EDP's), provide recommendations, offer occupational guidance, help students to locate information relevant to their plans after high school, and assist with scholarship information. In addition, we are here to assist students with other matters such as: attendance, organization, and motivation. While we do not provide long term psychotherapy, we can help provide referrals to local mental health organizations. 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have!
