Supporting Student Success

As credentialed school counselors at Pleasant Grove High School, we are dedicated to empowering every student to achieve academic success, personal/social growth and wellness, and develop a post-secondary plan.

Pleasant Grove High School’s comprehensive school counseling program is led by professional school counselors who advocate, collaborate and facilitate actions that support student success. School counselors provide every student the opportunity to acquire the attitude, skills and knowledge necessary for a productive future. By addressing the specific needs of a learner, our goal is to deliver services in three domains: academic, career and personal/social development. Through individual and group activities, our program promotes lifelong learning, respect for social and cultural differences and encourages our youth to make positive contributions to their community.

Career Center, Kuder Career Planning and GATE

  The Career Center located in the Student Services building now has a fully equipped computer lab. We will be able to accommodate classes throughout the year during our Kuder based career units. In addition we will be offering on-going groups and tutoring for the SAT tests using the online SAT Mentor program. We will also be sponsoring at least 5 field trips to colleges in the regional area. Students and parents are encouraged to review, research, and update their assessment results and career/college choices on www.Kuder.com. Each student has an account and password. Please call us if you need help with the Kuder program.
