Mission:
Welcome to the Guidance Department of Trinity High School. We are professional counselors as well as educators. A large portion of our time is spent on individual counseling with students, and some of these conversations may be confidential. The primary responsibility of the counselor is to advocate for the students of Trinity High School. Our objective is to challenge students to develop creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking skills, and to encourage students to maintain academic excellence, become involved in school and community activities, share a commitment to Christian values and assist students with creating educational and career plans.
Responsibilities:
We pride ourselves in the team approach to counseling. While a student may be assigned to one counselor, there will be instances when he/she will be in contact with another member of the staff for specific program information or for coverage in the absence of the assigned counselor. Mr. Losier (A-L) RLosier@trinity-hs.org and Ms. Risdal (M-Z) TRisdal@trinity-hs.org work with all classes. Our Academic Coach/Guidance Assistant, Mrs. Lawless Slawless@trinity-hs.org, works primarily with freshman students and those students facing academic difficulties.
Expect us to be involved with you throughout your entire Trinity experience. We may be more direct in initiating meetings with first- and second-year students; however, in the later years, we encourage and expect that students take the responsibility for seeking us out for support.
In addition to our responsibilities for academic counseling, coordinating academic conferences with teachers, year-end academic recovery, and college/career planning, the Guidance Department also provides a variety of special programs throughout the year. The programs include: Annual Fall College Fair, Student/Parent College & Career Information Nights, Summer Enrichment Database, Annual Financial Aid Seminar. Additionally the Guidance Department offers information concerning college planning, volunteer & employment experiences and job shadow opportunities.
The Guidance staff is eager to assist students. Students can make an appointment to meet with their counselor before and after school and during scheduled study halls.
