Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!
At Heritage High School, our Counseling Department provides comprehensive services to all HHS students. We are here to support all students throughout their high school career by providing academic, college, career, and social-emotional counseling.
Each student is assigned to a counselor that represents their Small Learning Community (SLC). Students are encouraged to visit their SLC office before school, during lunch, or after school to speak with their counselor.
Parents and guardians may contact their student’s counselor by phone or e-mail. Please note that counselors are unable to accommodate meeting requests from incoming 8th grade families and will be directed back to their current school's counselor.
Counselor hours: Monday-Friday, 8:15AM-3:30PM
