Welcome to The Amsterdam High School Guidance Department and Student Support Center

AHS Guidance Department - The counselors' functions are to help the student assess his/her own personal qualities and capabilities, to make him/her aware of the variety of choices available to him/her, and of the steps he/she must take to achieve the goals he/she seeks.  By talking with individual students, by studying information recorded about them in the past, and by talking with members of the high school staff and with parents, the counselor strives to know his/her students.  The counselor has contacts with the Student Support Staff, the Mental Health Clinic, Social Services, and with other agencies which provide services for students who require assistance with the solution of their personal problems.

Student Support Staff - The services of the school psychologist and social worker are a part of the high school counseling program and are available to students.  The school psychologist and social worker are often asked to provide assistance to individual students or their counselors, teachers, or parents to aid in making decisions in personal, social, or educational matters.  Students may arrange to see the school psychologist or social worker through their guidance counselor.
