Welcome! If there is anything we can do to help you and your child, please don't hesitate to call or email us.The Clinton Public School Guidance program is designed to help students develop positive self-concepts and effective decision-making skills. The guidance counselor works with students individually and in groups, assisting with school-related and personal concerns. Counseling services may concern career and academic planning, personal or crisis counseling. The counselor is available to any student or parent who wishes to address concerns, gain information or discuss alternative plans of action to get the best for each student. Assistance is available for students for high school placement and with the preparation of their freshman high school schedules.
