In close collaboration with parents, the HHCA Guidance Team serves all students (K-12) by helping students gain competencies in personal/social (mindset) as well as educational and career development. Our Guidance Team develops and protects students' individuality, providing skills to help them function effectively with others in school, home and in the community and preparing them for college, career and life.
Guiding Students in the Direction of Success
Dedicated to developing ongoing supportive and collaborative relationships, our Guidance Team aims to ensure every family is equipped with the knowledge and encouragement to make prayerful decisions concerning the direction of their student's life.
College and Career
Throughout Upper School, our Guidance Team provides personalized counsel to families as students develop future plans based on their aptitudes and interests.
Using assessments and interest inventories given in the Middle and early Upper School years, comprehensive pre-college and pre-graduate counseling assists Upper School students in discovering the colleges and/or career paths that suit them best while helping them achieve personal and academic success.
