THS GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT
The Torrington High School Guidance and Counseling Department's program is founded on the belief that each student is a unique individual who is capable of growing into a responsible, independent, and contributing member of society. Guidance and Counseling services are developmental in nature and are provided in classroom, group, and individual settings focusing on three components: personal/social development; academic development; and career development.
COUNSELING APPOINTMENTS
Students may schedule appointments by signing up in their counselor's appointment book and requesting a pass from the secretary either the day before or before school in the morning. Only students who are in an emergency situation may see their counselors without an appointment. Appointments should be made during study halls, lunch periods, and before and after school. If your counselor is unavailable, ask the secretary if anyone else is available.
