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 4/22/25:

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.

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 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.

Volunteering Opportunity:

Viera Elementary needs your help! This Saturday, April 26th, the Green Jean Foundation will be at Viera Elementary to install a unique addition to our campus; and we couldn’t be more excited! The organization has generously provided raised garden beds with the goal of inspiring young minds early, equipping future generations to address challenges such as food sustainability and environmental conservation. Previously, the Green Jean Foundation contributed to the STEM Lab by donating an aquaponics system, which has significantly enriched students' understanding and appreciation of these essential concepts. We are looking for registered volunteers to come out and help us with the installation. For questions,  please reach out to Mrs. McGill or Mrs. Marcoux. Thank you!
