The Student Services Department includes our School Counselors, College & Career Specialist, and our front desk clerks. We are here to help with academic, social/emotional, and future planning areas.

Guidance Update 5/13/25:

Our Student Services Counselor team would like to thank our community, parents, and students for their support this school year as we close out another successful venture! We are getting our seniors ready for GRADUATION!! CONGRATS TO YOU!

Please note: Beginning April 28th, we will no longer have our appointments available as we will be taking care of graduation prep for our seniors and are required to be available for end of year testing for our current students. We appreciate continued support and patience throughout this school year! Thank you for your support!

PLEASE NOTE **ANY Viera High student who has not turned in their course selection forms, please continue to get them turned into Student Services ASAP.

**Any Academy/Business student who needs this specific course selection form may stop into Student Services.

*Notes for our SENIORS OF 2025*

1. Senior Class 2025: We have noticed MANY of you have not applied for the FFAA financial aid application for your Bright Futures scholarship. Many of you qualify, however without completing the FFAA, you will not be notified of any award. Please make sure this financial aid package is completed on the Bright Futures webpage ASAP. It is due by August 31st of your graduation year (this school year for our graduating seniors). Any questions, feel free to ask your School Counselor.

2. Seniors also, please turn in your volunteer and/or paid hours as soon as you have them done!

3. AT GRADUATION REHEARSAL on May 19th following senior breakfast, there will be a QR code for you to complete. This is a form telling your counselor where you will need your transcript sent once district finalizes them on June 18th.

4. **Any senior who has not completed your online courses (FLVS/BVS), owes monies or owes any commitments of any kind will not receive your graduation tickets at graduation rehearsal.

5. Continue to complete your FFAA on Bright Futures and look for any specific scholarships on their website.

6. Also, fill out your FAFSA federal aid application as this must be completed by June 30th!
