Concord High School
Counselor's Corner
Students LEAD THE CHANGE.
Concord's counselor is here to help every student at CHS succeed. I work with students, parents, and teachers by facilitating conferences, helping to plan schedules, giving curriculum and scholarship guidance, and addressing personal and social needs. I will do my best to meet the needs of our students at each grade level.
I realize how hard the strain can be on staying home and away from friends. Here are some articles/sites that may help:
