Counselors' Office

Notre Dame Regional High School has a Counselors’ Office comprised of two nationally certified counselors. Counselors deliver a comprehensive school counseling program that promotes student success and development over three main areas: social emotional learning, academics, and career or post-secondary planning and exploration.

Each class is assigned a counselor so students have the same counselor for all four years of high school, creating a comfortable environment for students to ask for guidance. The counseling team prioritizes student wellness and mental health while maintaining an ideal student-to-counselor ratio.

Stay up to date with the Counselors’ Office by reading the Counselors’ Corner newsletter.
