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

Guidance Update 4/10/25:

Our Student Services Counselor team would like to thank our community for their support during the course selection process! We have mostly completed our Viera High classes and gotten out to area middle schools. Any 8th grade parents and students up and coming to the high school, please continue to reach out to your current middle School Counselor with any questions you may have as we here at Viera High will be working on graduation and our current student population. We know you are excited, as we are too, and we look forward to our incoming freshmen class!

Following spring break into the month of April, we will open up our QR codes for current students and parents until we near graduation in May. We appreciate continued support and patience with our schedules as we will be busy at the end of our school year with our seniors. Thank you for your support!

PLEASE NOTE **ANY Viera High student who has not turned in their course selection forms, please get them turned into Student Services ASAP as we will be entering courses and electives soon!

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