School Counselors at Rye High School are concerned with the student's total development: intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. They work to assist students to assume responsibility, develop to their highest potential, take an active role in the school community, and be prepared for their future roles in society. Counselors advocate for students in a variety of personal, social, and educational roles.

The School Counselors are experienced in assisting students to select courses of study that are best suited to their interests, abilities, and personal goals. The Counselors work closely with students, parents, and faculty members in advising with regard to the level of difficulty of those courses and sequences that will be beneficial to the student. The Counselors also assist the students in evaluating and selecting the appropriate post-secondary choices.
