Counseling
The Houston High School Counseling department is here to guide students as they navigate life as a Mustang. Our counselors build relationships with students that allow them to help them decide what academic path is best for them to follow and what extracurricular activities might best suite their personality. The HHS Counseling department works to ensure that each student grows as an individual and finds their way as a Mustang.
Our counseling team is made up of seven total employees, each with their own speciality. We have four grade level counselors, two College & Career counselors, and one Counseling Intervention Specialist.

College & Career Counseling
Houston's College & Career counseling department's vision is, "To assist students in discovering and exploring their interest by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to choose the post-secondary pathway that fits them best."
To best serve the mission and vision of the Houston High School College & Career counseling department, our counselors operate with an open-door policy for all students. As Mustangs prepare for their next steps towards a collegiate education or a career path, they are welcome to come to this office with questions during their flex time, in between classes, before or after school, or with a teacher's permission during a class period. If students need more time to address their questions, they are more than welcome to make an appointment with their counselor via email or using the appointment calendar.
Counselors are also available to meet with parents. At Houston, we want to ensure that both our students and their families feel supported. If a parent would like to request a meeting, they are also welcome to email their child's counselor to briefly explain the request.
