The school counselors at MCHS are available to help students with personal, social, academic, and family issues.  Counseling is a type of helping relationship in which the counselor and student communicate about feelings, attitudes, plans, and ultimately about decisions.  The counselors are in a position to act as non-judgmental listeners and can offer alternatives and information so the student may more fully develop his/her self-understanding and capacity for self-direction.  The counselors also refer to outside community agencies if the student’s needs cannot be met within the school structure.
