The SKA College Guidance Department

This is a very exciting time in your family's life. Your daughters have worked so hard, made life-long friendships, and have made a real difference in the lives of so many. With graduation looming and post-high school educational decisions yet to be made, the process can sometimes seem a little daunting. We're here to smooth the road for you. The SKA College Guidance Department is committed to assisting the girls in assessing and understanding their aptitudes, interests and educational needs. The counselors are here to listen and provide students and their families with information so they may make suitable educational decisions for the future.

The College Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Susan Sachs, is available during the school day to answer your questions. Students are encouraged to stop in or schedule an appointment to see her. Parents can speak to Mrs. Sachs by calling 374-7195, ext. 127. Mrs. Sachs is in the office through period 8.
