Counseling Department
Counseling Mission
To help our students prepare to become the next generation of parents, workers, leaders, and citizens, AST provides support, guidance, and various opportunities for our students. Our school, through our wonderful teachers, advisory program, and support staff, is here to support students in their path to adulthood.
Counselors provide guidance and support to students and families about issues including study habits, friendships and healthy relationships. We also support students through periods of stress and anxiety, and other concerns.
They’ll find in their school counselors a listening ear, an endless cheerleader, and a pillar of support.
Students may refer themselves to a counselor or may be referred by a teacher, parent or a concerned friend. The counselors can also assist with referrals for external, private individual or family therapy.
