The Counselors at Highland West Junior High offer a variety of services to students, parents, and teachers.  Our aspiration is for all of our students to be successful and achieve their personal and academic goals.  We provide individual, personal and academic counseling, conflict resolution, and group counseling when needed.  Additional duties include enrollment procedures, testing coordination, Red Ribbon Week activities,  Career Night at Moore Norman Technoloy Center and Career Day.

 

The counseling staff also oversees the Peer Mediation program, attends IEP meetings and arranges parent/teacher conferences.  We work in coordination with the administrative staff to prevent and resolve disciplinary issues.  We encourage parents to call or come by for a personal visit when concerns arise involving their student.

 

HWJH has a "Peer Mediation" program and students are expected to seek out the assistance of counselors, peer mediators or administrators to help mediate any conflict situations they are not able to resolve. A conflict resolution process is used to help students learn how to manage conflict through the use of communications and non-violence.
