About the Guidance Department

Manchester Township High School has a long tradition of providing students with strong guidance and counseling services. Emphasis is placed on the personal, career, and academic needs of the individual student. The program includes sequential activities designed to address the needs of all students by helping them to acquire competencies in career planning and exploration, knowledge of self and others, and educational and vocational development.

One of the major goals of Manchester Township High School Guidance Department is to create an individualized plan for each student. Counselors aim to help the students explore future opportunities and the best pathway to achieve individual goals. Students are encouraged to consider achievement, interests, and abilities when selecting courses each year. Each counselor works individually with each student to help him or her determine the course of study that will best meet his or her plans. Students are encouraged to utilize Naviance, which is a platform that assists with their planning of post-secondary goals.
