School Counseling
The School Counseling Department at Carmel Catholic High School is dedicated to developing a supportive program that promotes student achievement within the Carmel community. Our School Counseling Department is driven by student data and based on standards in academic, career, and personal/social development to promote and enhance the learning process for our students. Carmel’s School Counseling program is a collaborative effort between the student, school counselor, parents, and other educators to create an environment that promotes student success. School counselors focus their skills, time, and energy on direct and indirect services to their students by identifying individual student goals aligned with Carmel’s mission and spiritual growth. School counselors help students develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for future plans involving college graduation and career readiness.

There is always someone available if a student needs to talk, vent, or have a quiet place. The Drop-In Center provides walk-in counseling and crisis intervention.
Serna Learning Resource Center
The Carlos J. Serna Learning Resource Center was established in 2009 to support the students of Carmel Catholic High School with disabilities that affect educational performance. An active formalized plan includes an Individual Services Plan (ISP) or Section 504 Accommodation Plan. Supportive services may include classroom and/or testing accommodations within the general education setting. Additionally, students who need a more supportive environment may take the Learning Resource Seminar class. Within this class, individualized goals are identified and progress is monitored regularly while being provided specialized instruction within a resource setting and given accommodations within the general education setting. Goals target the student’s specific skills deficits of academic functioning in the areas of reading, math, and writing and/or functional performance.
School Nurse
The Carmel Catholic High School nurse advances the well-being, academic success, lifelong achievement and overall health of our students. The role of the school nurse has evolved, as her responsibilities often go beyond just ensuring that basic health services are available to our students during the school day. The mission of the school nurse is multi-faceted and includes providing preventive services, identifying problems in the earliest stages and overseeing interventions and referrals as a way to foster health and ensure educational success. Beyond promoting health and safety for students within the school facility during the school day, our school nurse also encourages students to maintain healthy habits and behaviors when they are not in school.
