The West Ridge High School Counseling Department is excited to share a change in the way we will serve you this school year!

This year, our counselors are organized by grade level so that we can provide more focused support based on where students are in their high school journey. Each grade level will have counselors who will work closely with students throughout the year to help them stay on track, plan for their future, and make the most of their high school experience.
