Valencia High School

The Valencia High School counseling department offers a comprehensive program that focuses on academic, career, and personal development. We meet with each student at various times during the school year to review progress toward graduation and reaching the post-high school goals. Although all counselors can help students and parents in any area, each counselor has a specific area of expertise that all students are encouraged to utilize. Each counselor also has an alphabetical group of students to monitor his / her success. Each counselor serves as a "Walk-In-Counselor" for five hours per week and is available to address the immediate needs of our students and parents. If a student wishes to meet with a counselor, we encourage him / her to complete a request for a counselor appointment form found in the counseling office. We also encourage parents to call in advance to make an appointment to meet with a counselor if the need arises.

Summer School
The 2009 summer school information packets are currently available in the counseling office. Classes will fill up quickly, so we encourage students and parents to pick up, fill out, and return the applications as soon as possible during the pre-registration period, which ends on May 15^th. Again this year, high school physical education is not being offered, so please have your student plan accordingly if he/she originally planned to take this course during the summer.

2009-2010 Course Selection Correction
Any student who needs to correct/change a course that was chosen for next school year's schedule can do so between Monday, May 4th and Friday, May 15th during brunch, lunch, an open period, or after school. Please note that changes are only for course titles. No period order, teacher names, or open period times have been created.

COC Concurrent Enrollment Forms
Any high school student wishing to take a summer course at COC will need to do the following if he/she hasn't done so yet: 1) Apply to COC online. 2) Take the math and English placement tests in the COC testing office. 3) Pick up a Concurrent Enrollment Form from the VHS counseling office beginning May 4th. 4) Bring the completed Concurrent Enrollment form to COC for high school registration on June 3rd (11th and 12th grade students only). Please note: Current 8th and 9th graders (considered 9th and 10th graders this summer) have to wait until the first day of class to gain instructor approval to register for a COC course.

SENIOR Final Transcript Requests
By NO LATER than Friday, June 5th, every university-bound senior must request a FINAL high school transcript to be sent from the VHS registrar's office to the college that the student will be attending in the fall. Each student's requested final transcript will be mailed out to the college between June 19th and June 26th. You may click here to obtain the form or stop by the Registrar’s office and pick one up.

NCAA Clearinghouse

If you have a junior or senior student who plans on being an athlete at the college level, he/she must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse. The registration website can be found at: www.ncaaclearinghouse.com. Students/Parents should be very careful when reviewing this website, as there are many details that the students must adhere to in order to be eligible. If your student needs additional help with eligibility issues, he/she can contact Mrs. Stroh in the counseling office or by email at kas@hartdistrict.org.
