Academic Counseling
All students who attend Cristo Rey St. Martin are immersed in a culture of becoming college and career ready. CRSM School Counselors offer a variety of services to address students’ physical, emotional, and social needs. Counselors meet individually with all freshmen as well as with transfer students who come to CRSM as sophomores or juniors. Our goal is to help each student identify their unique talents and interests, connect those talents with career options, and then provide a pathway to college that will assist them in achieving their career goals. CRSM graduates demonstrate the ability and determination to complete college and they go on to become influential and inspiring leaders in our society.
Both College Counseling and our Academic Assistance Program are woven through the CRSM high school experience in order to empower and equip students to make thoughtful and strategic post-secondary educational plans based on their strengths, interests and calling.
