Upper School Counseling Center

Our Vision:

The vision of the Upper School Counseling Center is to guide, support, and empower students to meet their academic, personal, social, college, and career path goals. We envision a proactive, collaborative approach among students/counselors/teachers/parents to prepare our graduates with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to succeed and contribute to our diverse world.

College Counseling

Choosing a college is one of the biggest decisions that our students will make. It is always a very exciting time, full of academic focus, discovery and dreams about the future...

Road to College

Grade counselors are actively engaged with their students in the college process from 9th through 12th grades. Counselors believe the college search and selection process is an educational process and the natural culmination of a student's years at St. Agnes. We believe, too, that each student's path in this process will be unique and that the student will lead in this meaningful time of self-exploration. We are here as a resource and support and will endeavor to offer guidance, insight, encouragement, and experiential knowledge. The process is an important period of self-reflection and self-direction. Working in conjunction with students and parents throughout the high school years ensures the most positive results in the college selection process.

This is the year to explore academics, clubs and activities, interests, and service. The emphasis is on acclimation to high school, building relationships with peers and faculty, becoming involved in extracurricular activities, developing good study habits, and becoming aware of your strengths, interests, and goals.

This is the year to expand and accelerate your academic pace and investigate your extracurricular opportunities. Take advantage of rigorous courses (honors and AP) to build your transcript. Participate in clubs and activities and areas of interest to you and build your resume. Further your commitment to service.

This is a defining, important year for college application readiness. This is the year to solidify your transcript and resume because your sixth semester transcript and your resume as of the end of your junior year are your first introductions to college admission offices in the fall of your senior year.

This is a year of ACTION! This is the year to work closely with your college counselor to finalize your college list and coordinate your college applications. It is important to continue to work hard toward academics and resume-building throughout your senior year.
