SKYLINE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT
The Skyline High School Guidance and Counseling program is built upon a model called Comprehensive Competency Based Guidance (CCBG). This model has been adopted by the American School Counselor Association, The Arizona School Counselor Association, and Mesa Public Schools. CCBG is developmental and requires the counseling department to systematically provide all students with experiences to help them gain competencies to meet their personal, social, educational, and career needs.

A student or parent may request and appointment with a counselor through the counseling secretary.

CAREER CENTER
The Skyline Guidance and Counseling Department is extremely fortunate to have an extensive Career Center and a full time Career Specialist. The Career Center and Career Specialist provide a myriad of resources and opportunities to Skyline High School. The Career Center has information on careers, scholarships, colleges, technical schools, the military, testing (ACT, SAT, ASSET, ASVAB), and resumes. During the year representatives from colleges, technical schools, businesses, and the military are available in the career center. The Career Specialist schedules ASSET and ASVAB testing on campus. Through a program called Mesa Youth Placement (MYP), the Career Specialist helps students find jobs in the community. Career speakers are scheduled periodically throughout the year. A Scholarship Bulletin and a Success Bulletin are published each month (you can access these bulletins on line through a link on this web site). The career center also keeps a career portfolio on each student that contains many of the items generated by our classroom counseling presentations.
