The Brentwood
High School Counseling Department is dedicated to assisting all our students in
reaching their full potential. BHS strives to educate the whole student,
creating life-long learners and seekers of excellence. In support of this
mission, the Brentwood High School Counseling program is 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 through individual planning, counseling curriculum, responsive
services and individual counseling, and support services.
Through the Counseling Center, students can
draw on various resources, including frequent visits by college representatives,
a library of college guides, scholarship information, financial aid, and
standardized testing. Programs sponsored by the Counseling Center include
Williamson County College Fair, Financial Aid Night, BHS College Night and
relevant grade level, informational classroom presentations.
Each counselor works with
students in acquiring guidance competencies that form the foundation for their
next steps educationally and occupationally. They assist students in developing
realistic educational
and career plans based on a clear understanding of themselves, their needs,
interests, skills, and the realities and possibilities of the worlds of
education at work.
