College Counseling

Proctor’s College Counseling team strives to expand each student’s knowledge of what life post-Proctor could look like within the context of a highly individualized counseling process. The goal of the team is to foster students’ academic, intellectual, and personal growth while empowering them to take ownership of the college process. Each year, Proctor students have the motivation, confidence, and self-awareness to make such matches. They trust their hearts and inner-self, allowing insight, not college rankings, to guide their post-Proctor careers.
