The counselors meet with students individually, in small groups, or in the classroom throughout the year and are available on an informal basis at the request of students, parents or staff members. Please call/email ahead for appointments.

Timeline

In the fall semester, all seniors meet one-on-one with their school counselor to navigate their post-high school options and answer any questions about college applications and recommendations. After meeting with seniors, the counselors will meet with all transfer students to discuss four-year-plans and the transition to Southwest Christian. During spring semester registration, freshmen will meet one-on-one with their school counselor to discuss four-year-plans and their transition to SWCHS.
