Counseling Department  

Students begin the path to college the moment they become a member of the St. Mary's Ryken community. Helping them navigate the demands and challenges of the classroom is our team of four counselors and the resourse program specialist.

Counselors work one-on-one and in groups to identify a student's strengths and to guide them in course selection. Students work with the freshman counselor their first year, then one counselor for the next two years, and with the college counselor for their senior year.
