Counseling
Marian counselors offer comprehensive support—academic, college, career, and personal counseling—to all students.
Our state and nationally certified and licensed counselors meet regularly with students, both individually and in groups, ensuring that they receive the guidance and support they need throughout their high school journey.
College counseling at Marian is all about helping you find the right fit—academically, personally, and socially. We’re here to support, guide, and cheer you on as you explore your options and shape your future.
College Counseling Timeline
Every student’s path is unique, and we’re here to help you find a college or university that aligns with your interests and aspirations. Our counselors support you as you explore your goals, strengths, and values—a journey that begins in freshman year and continues throughout your time at Marian. We take the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and get to know you, so we can offer personalized guidance as you navigate the road to college.
Additional Resources
Personal + Social Support
At Marian, your mental health matters. Need a listening ear or some guidance? You can connect with your counselor anytime for personalized support. Dive into mental health awareness and support alongside the passionate students of the Marian Mindset Project, and don't miss out on spending time with Uma, our certified therapy dog!
Grief Support Group
For students experiencing grief, our Grief Support Group offers a safe haven. Led by our compassionate counselors, it's a space where you can openly share your feelings, find understanding, and receive support from peers who understand.
Big Sis + Little Sis
All 9th grade students are paired up with an 11th grade Big Sis in the summer before freshman year! This way, you'll have a Big Sis to help guide you along the high school journey.
