PARSIPPANY HIGH SCHOOL

Welcome to the
Parsippany High School Counseling Center!

The school counselors are here to serve as advocates for the students and provide the vital link between the school, home, special services, and outside agencies.

The 2020-21 school year is certainly starting off unlike any other! While some of you are learning virtually and some in person, your counselors are here to help regardless. Whether it’s personal, family, social, or academic, our goal is to support the students and parents of Par High. We offer a safe, confidential space to sort things out and/or connect you with the specific kind of help you need. Let us help you have a great year!

Counselor contact information is found in the tab to the left.  

In addition to speaking with your counselor for more resources, here is a list of some quick helpful links you may find helpful. We will continue to provide virtual and digital copies of resources that are available in the building. Check under the tabs to the left for information.
