CHS Counseling
College and Career 1

The mission of the Coronado High School Counselors is to promote academic achievement and to facilitate educational and career transitions.

 
The most convenient way to speak with a counselor is to email them or stop by their office.  It is helpful if you mention whether the matter is urgent, and whether it is best to send for the student during a particular class time or whether before/after school or lunch time is more convenient. If it is urgent, please tell the Registrar, Kathy Redding, or someone in the front office, and you will be seen immediately.
