RHS Counseling Connections

We are thrilled to introduce a new member to our team. Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Cristin Nahoum!

Ms. Nahoum comes to RHS with nine years of experience at St. Joseph's High School, specializing in college and career readiness. She is passionate about helping students find the perfect path for their future.

You can find a complete list of our counseling staff on the RHS School Counseling website.

Over 90 seniors joined RHS counselors to start crafting their Common Application. Sessions focused on personal essay brainstorming, activities lists and demographic information.

100% of students indicated Camp College Application was helpful!

This year, we're making it easier than ever for students to connect with their counselor. Each counselor has a QR code linked to their calendar, available on the bulletin board outside of the counseling suite.

If you're unsure who your counselor is please check powerschool or stop by the counseling office.

Mark your calendars! We have several important events coming up in the first few months of school.

Freshman year is all about a fresh start! Make sure the transition to 9th grade is focused on academics and exploring all of the activities that RHS has to offer.

Academically, students are encouraged to sign up for flex sessions for intervention as well as enrichment. Students learn about flex and how to sign up for sessions during advisory.

Getting involved in clubs and activities at RHS, is another way to create meaningful relationships and explore students interests and passions. Make sure your student attends the activities fair in October to see all the exciting clubs and activities they can be a part of. Check out our Student Life Office Website, to see the clubs and activities that ran last year.

One of the goals of the counseling department is to create strong relationships with our incoming freshman, by meeting with all 9th graders in small groups during flex by mid September!

Over 250 freshman came to RHS for counselor tours. Students met their counselors, toured the building and recieved a preview of all of the fun yet to come!

Sophomores will see the counselors in seminar during the second semester, where the focus will be on Course Selection, resume building, using Naviance to narrow down interests and link interests to careers, how to read transcripts and how careers and budgeting go hand in hand!

Junior year is focused on balancing academics and activities and to being really digging into post secondary planning.

Juniors will meet with counselors in seminar during second semester to focus on Post Secondary Options, using Naviance to do a college search, the RHS application process and the creation of their Common Application account.

Juniors are also encouraged to attend the College Rep visits that will be posted in Naviance under What's New.

At the start of the year, counselors are busy meeting with all seniors to assist with college list building, Common Application information and ensuring that all RHS paperwork is in. Please find RHS College Application Materials on the School Counseling Website.

This fall, seniors will meet in seminars and flex assemblies to review the RHS college application process, understanding FAFSA and navigating admissions decisions.
