High School Counseling

Sabrina Perez
The Ellicott High School counseling program strives to meet students where they are at by providing a comprehensive program that incorporates the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) national model. This ensures we help students in three (3) primary areas: Academic, Post-Secondary planning, and Social/Emotional.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the counselors listed here. We look forward to working with you and your student(s).
