Arvin High Counseling Department and Student Support Services

The Arvin High School Counseling Department’s purpose is to empower all students to lead satisfying and productive lives by assisting them in identifying and achieving educational, career, personal and social goals. AHS Counselors help students develop and successfully complete an educational plan that meets graduation requirements and fits students’ personal needs, interests, abilities and career aspirations.  We believe the personal/social aspects of the student are just as important as academics and that the two cannot be totally separated.  We strive to assist all students with coping/resiliency mechanisms as well as the skills that will enable them to better focus in the classroom.  We recognize that students who experience success in their learning environment, both academically and socially, become well equipped for life after high school.
