Guidance

Welcome to the St. Dominic School Counseling Program webpage. St. Dominic is a character-based school where students not only learn the academic skills they need to succeed but also the life skills needed to help them become happy, confident, and successful adults.     The counseling program offers opportunities for students to learn about themselves and others through weekly guidance lessons, school-wide character education programs, group counseling, and individual counseling. Please contact me if you have any concerns regarding your child or have any questions about the counseling program. Office Hours:  Monday and Wednesday 11:15-3:15 pm Friday 8:00-3:15 pm
