The guidance staff monitors the development of the whole child, helping KYHS students become independent learners and self-actualizing young adults. Guidance counselors and learning specialists carefully monitor student progress. They support and encourage the development of responsible attitudes towards learning, peer relationships, and communication with adults. The guidance department identifies and intervenes when there are areas of concern, counseling students on how to balance demanding academics, religious responsibilities, and extra-curriculars with their personalities and learning styles. Counselors help students with the process of developing good decision-making skills, using appropriate judgment, and accepting accountability for their actions.
