  3. Role of Your Counselor The counselors’ role is mainly one of student advocacy. Students come to counselors for help with a variety of issues in order to develop self esteem, self advocacy skills, help with family issues, crisis intervention, post secondary planning (which includes scheduling and four year plans), academic assistance including study skills, and numerous other issues in the realm of adolescent growth. As we assist students throughout the four year high school experience, our goal is to get every student to achieve academically, socially, and emotionally and we will work diligently with individual students and groups as we determine their needs.

(95% participation) WHY TAKE LATIN? Academic Advantages: Latin students have the highest SAT scores of any foreign language. (http://promotelatin.org/images/stories/pdf/Why/SAT2009-newreportdataforLatin.pdf) Many college counselors give greater weight to students who have Latin on transcripts. (http://promotelatin.org/images/stories/pdf/Why/TexasClassicalAssociationSurvey.pdf) Latin students have the highest college GPA of any foreign language students. (http://promotelatin.org) 90 % of English words two syllables or longer come from Latin. (http://promotelatin.org) At NHS, Latin allows students to achieve AP in 4 years, rather than the 5 it takes in other languages. Latin unlocks the key to understanding the language and culture of the western world; most significantly, English, spoken by ¼ of the world population.
