Alice C. Harris Intermediate School

Welcome

Welcome to the counseling program at Alice C. Harris Intermediate School.  Our School counselors can provide you with a variety of services including:

• Academic advisement, post high school planning, and career information.

• We can help you to develop and manage healthy life skills, healthy relationships, and coping skills.

• We also provide responsive services. Responsive services included crisis response, mental and emotional wellness skills, group counseling, and individual counseling.

• If you need services that we cannot provide, we will help you find someone who can help you.

We are available both by appointment and by walk-in.  We encourage parents or guardians to call for an appointment to avoid waiting .  To reach the Counseling Office, call (435) 515-4171 Monday through Thursday between 7:15 am to 2:00 pm, or Friday between 7:15 am to 12:45 pm.
