GUIDANCE
Students visit Whitko’s guidance offices every day. At Whitko, we are advocates for the students. Each student should have a voice and each student’s story matters. In our offices you’ll find dedicated professionals who have unquestionable loyalty to Whitko’s students success.
The Whitko Jr/Sr High School guidance team also works closely with seniors by communicating graduation information, providing official transcripts, and sharing scholarship opportunities.

Making a decision about which diploma to pursue means evaluating where you see yourself in 10 years. And each diploma leads to a different path that isn’t better or worse, but simply helps each student reach the goals they have set for themselves. It is always important for students to meet regularly with a guidance counselor and it is always a good idea to find a mentor within the local community who can help them be successful.
Our Guidance Team of professionals want to help you get everything you need to be successful by giving you the tools to best prepare for your future!
