Guidance
The Mission of the School Counseling Department at John Adams High School is to provide comprehensive school counseling services to all students within a positive supportive environment. Our counseling, MTSS, PBIS, College and Career programs are designed to help all students develop and enhance their academic, social, emotional, and career abilities in order to become responsible and productive members of society. Counselors are committed to maintaining the individual uniqueness of each student and skillfully use strategic, timely, and personal interventions to maximize educational experiences, develop post secondary skills, close achievement gaps among high and low performing groups and support positive life choices.
Visitor Policy
Safety and security for our students and staff is always a priority at John Adams High School. It is for this reason that the following policy will be enforced: All visitors must make an appointment with the person they wish to see prior to entering the building. If a visitor happens to come by without an appointment, John Adams Staff will do its best to accommodate them but cannot guarantee a meeting.
Appointments for the Guidance Department can be made by emailing the guidance counselors directory OR by calling Ms. Arteca at 718-322-0531.
