Classroom Guidance

Guidance classes are a part of Northside's comprehensive Guidance Program in which the counselors teach students skills to enrich their educational and social lives.  These skills are taught to entire classes several times per month.  The guidance curriculum is intended to support the objectives of academic instruction and to help students develop to their full educational and personal potential.  Parents are invited to visit the Counselor's offices and preview the materials that are used during Open House or by appointment.
