College Counseling

Because an average of 95% of BSM graduates attend college, the counseling staff are very involved in assisting students with their post-secondary plans. Our team believes strongly in listening to each student's aspirations, and responding in a collaborative way, partnering with students and their parents to work through a process leading to each student's desired outcome upon graduation.

Counselors work with juniors and seniors in a variety of ways:

• Register students for classes
• Assist in identifying post-secondary options
• Assist with essays and personal statements
• Write letters of recommendation
• Process and review applications before students submit them to colleges
• Send mid-year and final grades to colleges
• Provide emotional support
• Serve as an advocate throughout the college admissions process

The BSM College and Career Center is a resource center for both students and parents. The counselors and trained volunteer parents, staff the College and Career Center and are available to assist our Red Knight families.
