The Joplin High School Guidance Deparment offers a variety of services related to course selection and enrollment, testing, post-secondary planning, scholarships, and more. Guidance and counseling is an integral part of Joplin High School’s total educational program.

JHS counselors assist students in developing realistic educational and career plans based on an understanding of themselves, their needs, interests, skills, and the realities and possibilities of the worlds of education and work. Students and parents are invited to contact a counselor with any concerns, ideas, and requests for assistance.
