High School Counseling

Every student at Queensbury High School has the support of a school counselor in the process of planning their pathway throughout the high school years. Counselors assist with post-secondary planning towards college, employment or other vocational opportunities. Visit the high school counseling page by clicking here.

Middle School Counseling

Counselors work with students individually, in small groups and within the classroom setting to support and assist them with their academic, social, emotional, behavioral and personal development. Counselors work collaboratively with students, parents, teachers and other professionals in order to identify and minimize any barriers that stand in the way of student success.
