Description of Guidance | Guidance Programs | Counselors | Useful Phone Numbers

The essential function of the GUIDANCE PROGRAM at Father Judge High School is to serve every member of the student body. Our goal and purpose is to assist each young man as he grows and matures in understanding himself and his environment at Father Judge. We are dedicated to assisting him in his decision-making related to his education, career and personal growth. In order to facilitate this process, each student is assigned a counselor upon entering Father Judge. This counselor is the student's advocate and contact during his years at Father Judge.

The services offered by the Guidance Department are varied and include:

• To offer support and guidance as the student participates in the high school experience.
• To advise and guide in selecting an appropriate vocation and career.
• To aid and advise in the search of post secondary education including applications, recommendations and financial information.
• To interpret standardized test scores and how best to use the information the tests provide, including PSAT and SAT tests, the career interest survey and the California Achievement Test.
• To provide notices of jobs whether part-time or full-time.
• To realize the limits of the school counseling service and to provide referral sources when the need arises for extensive counseling.

Father Judge also provides the service of the STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SAP), which is a group of trained school personnel. The primary function of SAP is to identify and refer students whose drug and/or alcohol use or mental health status may be reason for concern and may be interfering in the student's school life. Referrals are made to SAP by teachers, parents, other students and self referrals. All referrals are confidential.

There are two government funded auxiliary programs which offer services through the Guidance Department :

• CORA provides their services of a school-certified guidance counselor, a remedial math and reading educator, a school psychologist and a speech therapist.
• SHALOM provides a trained counselor who provides personal and group counseling in the area of prevention and intervention of drug and alcohol abuse and also provides the services of a trained assessor who conducts assessments and provides referrals for further treatment.
