Counseling Department

Counseling Secretary Cindy Garza 414-7912

The counseling offices are located on the second floor above the main office. Students are assigned a counselor for four years based on alpha distribution. Students are always welcome and encouraged to come to the counseling office for academic planning, course and scheduling questions, college admission information, resolving peer problems, or becoming aware of their potential and interests. If a student wishes to see a counselor, they are welcome to stop by before or after school, during lunch, or between classes to fill out a pink “request to see counselor” slip.

Naviance comes to Anderson High School!

Naviance is a comprehensive website that you can use to help in making decisions about courses, colleges, and careers. Naviance is linked with Conselor’s office, a service that we use in our office to track and analyze data about college and career plans, so it provides up-to-date information that’s specific to our school.

Family Connection will allow you to:

• Get involved in the planning and advising  process - Build a resume, complete on-line surveys, and manage timelines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers
• Research colleges - Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past
• Sign up for college visits - Find out which colleges are visiting our school and sign up to attend those sessions

Family Connection also lets us share information with you about up-coming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other Web resources for college and career information.  You can also use the site to send us an e-mail message.

You are already registered in Naviance, all you need is your student ID.  Go to http://connection.naviance.com/lcahs and log in as a returning student. You will enter your student ID where it says “email” and again for the password.

ACC Early College Start Comes to Anderson High School!

Anderson High School started offering Dual Enrollment/Early College Start courses on our campus this year.

Who is eligible? 
Students who are Juniors and Seniors and have passed TAKS Math and English with a 2200 and the Writing section with a 3 are eligible to take ECS course for both high school and college credit starting the summer before their Junior year. If a student does not qualify with these TAKS scores they may take the assessment test for free through ACC to become eligible. Students can take up to two AISD approved college courses per semester and summer session for free through the district. Students can earn up to 36 hours of college credit for FREE, which is a great savings!

How do I get more information?
Students can make an appointment with Mrs. Mason, our ACC Early Start campus coordinator. She is located in the registrar office.
