The philosophy of the Jesuit High School Counseling Department is rooted firmly in the Jesuit concept of cura personalis, that is, to address the needs of each individual. Therefore, this comprehensive counseling program seeks to meet the personal, academic, college and career needs of our students.
In the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, caring for the whole person, the Counseling Department at Jesuit High School includes Wellness Counselors on campus as part of layered student support.
Wellness Counselors aim to provide short term, solution-based counseling and focus on creating a safe place where students may get support and assistance in problem solving. Wellness works closely with the student’s primary counselor, meets with students on an individual basis, runs student small groups, and maintains the Wellness programming for our school community.
Students may connect with a Wellness Counselor by reaching out to their Comprehensive Counselor or by making a self-referral.

Make sure you double-check your Counseling Group in PowerSchool. Find your group letter by logging into the online PowerSchool portal (not the app). Next to the student’s name, click on the red colored dot, which indicates the counseling group. Counseling Groups have meetings throughout the year — most often during Collaboration Periods. Students are responsible for knowing their assignments and must attend these collaboration sessions.
Assignments are posted at the beginning of the academic year by grade.
