Learning for All, Whatever it Takes

THS Guidance Department

The Tecumseh School Counseling department believes that an integral part of the education process is to help individuals understand themselves and their environment. 

It is our goal to provide opportunities for students to become life-long learners and to develop intra and interpersonal skills.  This process requires a cooperative developmental guidance program that involves school, family and community.  It is our hope that students will leave Tecumseh High School to become adaptive and productive members of an ever-changing society.

  • The purpose of a college visit is to get detailed information concerning a college that the student may wish to attend. It is advisable that parents attend the college visit with their student. Spontaneous visits to colleges are not preferred by the college because they do not always have time to meet with the students and parents. College visitations may be scheduled online or by calling the admissions office. Many colleges and universities also host open houses. These are generally held on Saturdays. The open houses offers more detailed information and additional staff are on hand to answer questions parents and
    students may have.

     

    In order for a college visit to be counted as a "field trip," this form must be completed and submitted one week prior to the visit.
