The School & College Counseling Department at Cardinal Newman High School is involved in a cooperative effort among students, staff members, parents, and the community. The purpose of the counseling department is to empower all learners to lead satisfying and productive lives by assisting them in identifying and achieving educational and career goals. The School & College Counseling Department is available to help educate the mind, body, and spirit by working with academic issues, educational and career planning, as well as personal concerns. All students meet several times each year with their counselor in class settings and individually.

The counselors work with each student to prepare for a successful and smooth transition to the college-level. Various computer software, written materials, and career testing are available to guide the student in decision making concerning future goals.
