SHS Counseling Department Mission:
To equip students with specific knowledge, skills, and guidance to help them set and achieve their academic, career, and personal goals.
Confidentiality
Information discussed with the counselor is private unless the information needs to be shared to prevent danger to the student or others. If information needs to be shared, the counselor will make every effort to let you know of the appropriate source (s) that need to be contacted. This may be a parent/guardian, administrative personnel, protective services, or law enforcement. Other shared information includes court subpoenas and communication with other professionals to better support you. Our primary responsibility is to our students, but we also acknowledge parents rights to be informed.
Counseling
If you or someone you are concerned about are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please dial 911. If you have a non-life-threatening but urgent mental health concern, please contact your private Mental Health provider, contact the NM Crisis line toll-free anytime 24/7/365 at 1-855-NMCRISIS (662-7474), or seek support with local mental health community providers. Find a printable list of Crisis Resources HERE and Community Resources and Services HERE. Most agencies have virtual therapy available, just ask. Our Sandia High School Counseling staff are available during school operating hours to assist with accessing resources as you seek help.
If there is an error on your schedule, you can submit this form to request to talk to a Counselor. Requests will be reviewed by administration for approval first.
We will not honor requests to change teachers.
Please submit ONE form and wait until you are contacted by one of our counselors.
Thank you!
