The Guidance Office is involved in many different aspects of each student’s life throughout high school from course selection to college and career planning.

The moment a student walks through our door, an assessment is made using prior transcripts, test scores and conversation, to determine an appropriate course schedule. A four-year plan is developed using prior coursework, taking into consideration the student’s interests and ambitions, to determine the framework of courses necessary for graduation. It is the responsibility of the guidance office to determine how the student’s past, present and future course work meets the graduation requirements of the State of Indiana’s Core 40 or Honor’s Diploma, as well as, the requirements for acquiring a Howe School diploma.

Students learn very quickly what the expectations of the school are and what they will need to accomplish to meet those goals. By providing a curriculum that prepares cadets for the rigorous demands of college courses, The Howe School develops a base for cadets to perform successfully at the college level of academics.
