Counseling Center

Welcome!

The primary goal of the Counseling Center at Durango High School is to provide individual career and academic planning as well as social emotional support for every student.

In the DHS Counseling Center, each student has assigned to them both an Academic Advisor and a School Counselor who follows them for all four years of high school. This model ensures continuity and secure relationships with students for a variety of needs. Academic Advisors meet with each of their students every semester to build the Individual Career and Academic Plans (ICAP) to match each student’s post-graduate aspirations. Advisors audit transcripts for graduation requirements and work with students and families on the college admission and financial aid process and/or other post-secondary options.

The Counseling Center is focused on building strong, lasting relationships with every student.

The following are just some of the student supports offered by DHS:

ICAP planning, including career and 4-year academic planning
Advisory curriculum that supports student learning
One-on-one academic planning and counseling
Informational nights for all grade levels
FAFSA explanation sessions
