Guidance Services

Academic Advisement:  A large portion of the Guidance Counselor's time is spent with academic counseling.  This includes activities such as course scheduling, new enrollments, credit checks, college advisement, study skills development, scholarships, financial aid information, and classroom presentations.

Personal Counseling:  Short-term counseling is provided for all students, as needed.  Although the counselor does not provide long term, intensive therapy or psychiatric evaluations, he advises and refers students and parents to outside agencies and professionals.  Because personal emergencies do arise during school, the counselor is available to aid in crisis situations that involve students.

Career Counseling:  Career development can be obtained through several venues at Washburn District High School.  The Guidance Counselor is available to discuss career options and have a vast array of resources in his office.  The computer program, Choices, is located on all the computers in the school where students have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities designed to assess learning styles and vocational interests, research colleges and scholarships.  Students will be matched with recommended jobs based on interests, scores, and abilities.

College Information ConnectEdu - Get your log-in information from Mrs. Hallett to access everything you need for college planning.

Liaison Services:  The referral/liaison segment of the guidance department includes roles such as:  a conciliator between students, parents, teachers, and administrators; a guide to outside community programs and resources; and a liaison with military, college, and vocational school representatives who visit regularly throughout the year.  Washburn District High School encourages parent-teacher conferences.  Please call the school Guidance Office to arrange a conference with teachers (455-4501).

Testing Program:  The Guidance Staff coordinates and administers several tests each school year and also keeps students informed about the College Board SAT and ACT testing dates.  Tests given include the PSAT, and Junior SAT.

Transcript Request

Need a copy of your transcript?  Here are the simple steps to expedite this process:

  1. Write a letter letting me know that you need your transcript sent out.  On this letter I need your name (as it was when you were a student here), the year that you graduated (or the year that you were supposed to graduate), and where you would like me to mail the transcript (include address).

  2. You can get this letter to me three different ways:

Mail it to me at:   

Washburn High School, Counseling Office

 1359 Main Street, Washburn, ME 04786

Fax it to me at:     (207) 455-4509

E-mail me during the school year at:      ahallett@msad45.net

At the current time there is no charge for transcript request.  If that changes I will post it on this page immediately.  If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to contact me at (207) 455-4501.
