Student Guidance
STUDENT GUIDANCE
The Loughlin Guidance Department supports the efforts of
parents and teachers in helping students have a successful
high school experience. Counselors work with students
to insure academic achievement, personal growth, and a
fruitful college search and application process.
Academic Counseling:
Counselors monitor the academic progress of students
from semester to semester, year to year. Our counselors
provide guidance for course selection, graduation
requirements, summer school and enrichment programs.
Personal Counseling:
Counselors work with students individually and in groups
to work on relationships and personal growth. Through
parent workshops and individual consultations, school
counselors are happy to work with parents to more
effectively support their teenager’s success. When helpful,
referrals are made to outside resources.
College Counseling:
The Guidance Department coordinates with colleges
and universities to host an annual College Fair. The
department also conducts financial aid information
sessions for parents. Counselors guide students through
the process of applying to college by aiding in the
completion of the application.
Testing:
The Guidance Department administers the PSAT to
Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors. Twice a year, Loughlin
serves as the test center for the SAT. Students are assisted
with the registration for the SAT and the ACT. Counselors
work with students on how to understand their test
scores.
