  • It is the philosophy of the Roseburg High School Counseling Center that all students have the ability to be successful in life. This is achieved by addressing the personal, social, behavioral, educational, and career needs of all learners, regardless of gender, race, religion or economic class. Our guidance and counseling program is vital for our students to achieve personalized, relevant learning and to develop meaningful educational plans while in school and beyond.

    We believe that Guidance and Counseling:

    • is developmental, sequential, and thoughtful,
    • is a service coordinated with all educators and departments,
    • is most effective when integrated into the curriculum and other services,
    • involves the family and the broader community.
  • At Roseburg High School, every student has the right to privacy and the right to expect the counselor-student relationship to comply with all laws and ethical standards pertaining to confidentiality in the school setting.
    In our counseling offices, students are informed of the purpose, goals, and rules of counseling and are advised about the limits of confidentiality, which include the possible necessity for consulting with other professionals or making a mandatory report to law enforcement or child welfare. Information is held confidential unless disclosure is required to ensure safety to the student or others.

  • The Roseburg High School Guidance and Counseling Program will:

    • Address the needs of 100 percent of the student population,
    • Be an integral part of the instructional program and the total educational experience,
    • Include structured activities based upon the needs of each student, including developmental, preventative, and remedial services,
    • Provide accountability and continuous improvement through an annual review of student progress and program evaluation,
    • Include appropriate professional development for all staff to maintain a quality program,
    • Depend upon the support and collaboration of administrators, teachers, other school personnel, students and the community,
    • Be coordinated and implemented by licensed School Counselors.

    Grades & Graduation Rates

    Only 55% of students who earn 5 of 7 credits their 9th grade year actually graduate from High School. (That means 2 F’s and 5 passing grades)

    If you earn all C’s your 9th grade year, you only have a 72% chance of graduating from high School according to statistics. If you earn all B’s and A’s your 9th grade year this correlates to well over a 90% graduation rate.

    High School graduates earn a national average of $8,000 more annually compared to high school dropouts.

    • That is about $400,000 over your lifetime.
      • *$8,000 x 50 (average work lifetime)

    Better Educational Outcomes

    Students who compete in high school activity programs have better educational outcomes, including higher grades, higher achievement test scores, and higher educational expectations beyond high school.

    Enhanced School Engagement and Sense of Belonging

    Participation in high school activities is a valuable part of the overall high school experience, enhancing students’ school engagement and sense of belonging.

    Positive Development and Life Skills

    Co-curricular activity programs promote positive youth development and provide opportunities for learning a number of life skills and values not typically taught in classroom education.

    Healthier Behaviors

    Students involved in educational activities often have many healthier behaviors leading to better physical and mental health.

    Developing Better Citizens

    Co-curricular activities teach lessons that lead to better citizens.

    School & Community Benefits

    Not only do individual students benefit from education-based activities, schools and communities benefit when more students are involved in cocurricular activities.


    Did You Know Your GPA Can Affect Life Outside of High School?

    Car Insurance

    Most Insurance Companies charge students who maintain a GPA of 3.0 or above (B Average) 25% - 35% LESS than those who earn a GPA below 3.0.

    This responsible driver ($100 monthly insurance is lowered to $65-$75 per month - this is something that continues through college as well! 6-8 years)

    $25 x 12 x 6 = $1800 (Savings over 6 years)

    Employment

    Like car insurance companies, employers often ask for your grades as a way to gauge how responsible you might be as a future employee.

    College

    You may or may not be able to get into certain colleges - must have C’s or better in core classes (2.75 - 3.0 minimum cumulative GPA - based on all 4 years - that’s mostly B’s)

    You may have to take more classes in college

    Example Math 065 and Math 095 to build up to Math 111 - College Algebra (placement exams are used) -- this costs extra money and takes a lot of time you could be spending on other credits

    Military

    To join the military, you must have a high school diploma and taken the ASVAB. Additionally, ROTC Scholarship requires a 2.5 GPA (half B’s and half C’s)
