About Us
The BHS Counseling Office is open from 8:15 a.m. - 3:45 p.m. The Ballard Counselors work with students to help them develop strategies for success in academics, in social skills, and in considering their post-high school plans and career options. Counselors encourage students to become aware of their individual strengths, to develop methods for dealing with difficulties, to set goals, and to make good choices.
Counselor Information
Students are assigned to counselors by the first letter of their last name. Counselors work with students to explain the credit system, help students select courses, monitor progress toward achieving graduation requirements, explore interests, and make plans for college application and career options. Counselors also help students deal with social and emotional issues.
Appointments
To make an appointment with your counselor, students go to the Counseling Center and sign up for an available date and time in the notebook on Ms. Bristol’s desk. Fill out a pass and make sure to write down the appointment in your planner. On the correct date and time, show your pass to your teacher, go to the Counseling Center. Your counselor will sign your pass so that you may return to class.
