Welcome to the Neillsville High School Counseling Department!
Whether you're a freshman just entering high school or a senior getting ready to leave, I hope this year holds many positive experiences and life-long learning opportunities. As you journey through this year, please remember your end goal is to graduate from Neillsville High School and use the skills you obtained to either further your education or enter the work force. The counseling department here is available as a resource to help you prepare and plan for the future that lies before you.
The Counseling Department strives to be a comprehensive program based on the model provided by the American School Counselor Association. The three areas targeted by the counseling program are: Academics, Personal/Social, and Career Development. Individual Student Planning sessions, classroom presentations, and field trips are just a few ways the department addresses these areas for each student. In addition, students are always welcomed and encouraged to stop by the counseling office at anytime.
I look forward to journeying through this year with you as we explore all the possibilities and opportunities that lie on the road ahead!
Julia Backaus, Neillsville 7-12 School Counselor
