Counselor's Corner

As school counselors, we care about the whole student. Our goal is to guide students on the path to social, emotional, and academic success. We acknowledge that students' academic success depends on students' abilities to appropriately manage their social and emotional needs. Below are some resources for you to explore. As always, please check in with your School Counselor if you need help during the school day.

If it is after hours and you are in crisis, please follow through with one of the following options:

Call 911 immediately if it is an emergency.
Mobile Crisis 988 OR 1-866-791-9223
Text HOME to 741741 (free, 24/7 support) to connect with a Crisis Counselor via text message.

WCS and WCHS do not endorse or sponsor any programs.

Backpack Program at WCHS

We realize with everything going on in the world, you may have a need for some extra support in the area of providing food for your family. We want you to be aware of a “backpack program” at WCHS, in which your student can take food home for the weekend.

There is no cost to be a part of this program. The only requirement is that your child obtain a permission slip from his/her counselor and return it with a parent signature. Participation in this program is confidential and discreet.

Please email your school counselor if you have questions about this program.
