Academic Advising:

Each student will work with Ms Coleman, as their academic advisor throughout their four years at SRCHS. She will provide students with educational and vocational support and help foster their personal and social development. Students will receive academic advising within the context of the classroom as well as meet one-on-one with them as needed. Our goal is to help your student acquire the skills required to reach their post-high school goals. Some of the support and opportunities we provide include:

*Assisting students in developing a 4-year plan in ninth grade that is updated annually.
*Meeting with students to discuss academic goals, CTE pathways, and college/career planning.
*Hosting workshops and guest speakers to share expertise on the college admissions process and financial aid options.
*Preparing school materials on behalf of students to universities and colleges for admissions and scholarship purposes.

Parents, to make an appointment or to talk to your student's counselor, please contact Ms. Coleman at (707) 825-2428 ext. 24715 or at j [email protected]
