Every student at Queensbury High School has the support of a school counselor in the process of planning their pathway throughout the high school years. Counselors assist with post-secondary planning towards college, employment or other vocational opportunities.
Counselors become an advocate and can guide each student toward essential resources to become college and career ready. Informed decisions need to be made by students and their families throughout high school and our counselors are ready to work with you.
Students are assigned a counselor based on their last name.
Our philosophy
Counselors assist in the educational, vocational, social and emotional needs as effectively as possible. Our office encourages students to contribute in meaningful ways to our community through involvement in athletics, clubs and volunteer opportunities. The QHS counseling center shares unique opportunities with the student body as they become available.
