The DeLaSalle College Advising and Counseling Office is dedicated to helping all students reach their academic, intellectual, social, and personal potential by providing guidance, educational support, and resources in:
Post-high school planning
Current academic studies
Social and emotional development
The office is located on the first floor of the B Building, across from the Florance Center (B102).
Each DeLaSalle student has a dedicated counselor who provides social, emotional, academic, and college advising. The staff member responsible for various advising responsibilities depends upon what grade the student is in and upon the first letter of the student’s last name.
Students and parents may work with counselors on college research, to obtain booklets and pamphlets on personal growth, to meet one-on-one with a counselor, or help themselves to the many resources available.
Since nearly all DeLaSalle students move on to college as a postsecondary choice, the Guidance staff is very involved in assisting students with their postsecondary plans. The planning process is a collaborative effort with the student, parents and the school. The college counselors work with juniors and seniors in a variety of ways:
Assist in identifying post-secondary options
Assist with essays and personal statements
Write letters of recommendation
Process and review applications before mailing them to colleges
Counselors also provide academic, social, and emotional counseling to students. This counseling helps students develop academic goals, assist with course schedules, and intervene with any barriers that may be interfering with academic success.
