• WELCOME TO TROY COUNSELING

    Our mission is to serve our students and promote academic achievement, career development, and personal and social growth. The guidance team is dedicated to each student and works collaboratively with parents, teachers, staff and administration to provide a positive school atmosphere. Our restructured guidance program allows students to develop a relationship with their assigned counselor starting their freshman year. 

     

    HOW TO SEE YOUR COUNSELOR

    Students are welcome to stop by the Counseling office without an appointment before school, break, lunch and after school with any questions they may have. (Do not come during class time as we do not want you to miss instructional time)


    Parents can call to set up an appointment to meet with a counselor. Counselors are also readily accessible via email and phone. Counselors will also individually meet with parents and their students in the freshman and junior years.

    Fall Semester Schedules & Requests for Changes
     
    Students will receive a list of their courses at Orientation.  If a student has a course error such as the wrong course (i.e., a 9th grader placed in English 2 or two classes in 4th period), they must submit a schedule change request.  If a student wishes to request a different elective, please be aware that the majority of classes are at capacity.  The online Fall 2017 Schedule Change Request Form will be posted on the Troy website homepage for the first two days of school, August 14-16, 2017. Schedule change requests via email or phone are not accepted, only those submitted via the online form.
     
    Upcoming Fall Semester Counseling Events
     
    Our department posts events on the Troy website as well as emails students and parents.   Please check the website and your email frequently.  I also suggest you check your spam or junk email folders for school messages.
     
    We look forward to seeing you all next August and we wish you a relaxing summer break.  If you need immediate help please contact the Registrar, Mrs. Rosner, at extension 4426.
     
     
    Letters of Recommendation for Summer Programs and Scholarships
     
    The Counseling Department is more than happy to support students applying to summer programs or scholarships that require a counselor letter of recommendation and/or completion of a counselor recommendation form.  In order to advocate for our students and have time to complete the form and/or letter by the deadline, please do the following:
     
    1. Students need to see their counselor in person at least 4 weeks before the application deadline to request the recommendation.
     
    2. Provide a resume of high school achievements and activities.  If you need to create a resume, use the resume tool located in your Naviance Family Connection account.
     
    3. Discuss with your counselor how the form and/or letter is submitted (i.e., e-mail, mail, upload to site, etc.)
     
    4. Letters of recommendation are confidential.  As counselors we will advocate on your behalf and do our very best to help you get accepted to the program or receive the scholarship.
     
    Note: For seniors applying to colleges that require a letter of recommendation, there is a separate process and a separate packet for students to complete.  The process and deadlines for college application letters of recommendation will be communicated to seniors during individual senior conferences and large-group senior presentations which occur early in the fall semester.

    Attention seniors:  If you are applying to a private college or an out-of-state public university that requires a counselor letter of recommendation (also called a Secondary School Report), you must attend a mandatory meeting on your Orientation Day.  The Letter of Recommendation meeting will take place on Thursday, July 28th in the Lecture Hall.  There are two sessions to choose from- 12 p.m or 2 p.m.  Please select one session to attend.  You should also download and review the Secondary School Report (SSR)/Counselor Letter of Recommendation Packet 2016-17.   We look forward to supporting you in meeting your college goals!

    Study Skill & College Planning Resources

    Students, now you can access study skill and college planning resources at your convenience! These tools are now available on your Naviance Family Connection account.  When you log into your account, go the "document library" link on the main page.  There you'll find resources on these topics. Counselors will be adding to these documents so check back for new tools and information.

    Department of Education - College ScoreCard

    To further empower students and families, today we released our first annual update of the redesigned College Scorecard, a college search tool that President Obama launched in September 2015 and that nearly 1.5 million usersacross the nation have accessed since. With over 4,000 institutions available for students and families to search, the College Scorecard provides answers to critical questions about each institution, like how likely studentsare to complete their degrees, how much debt students take out, and how much the students typically earn after attending. And the interactive website provides users with the ability to search by program, degree type, location, or by name of institution. All of this information is available at https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/.
