The Guidance Department at Oakland Catholic is
dedicated to supporting the total education of its students.
Together with the faculty, staff, administration, and parents of
Oakland Catholic, the counselors work to promote the personal,
social and academic development of each student within a
faith-based atmosphere.
Our challenging academics and extensive extra-curricular programs
prepare college-bound students for the rigors of university life
and academics. We challenge our students to set high
standards and we are dedicated to helping them find colleges and
universities that will nurture their abilities, strengths, and
career aspirations.
The counselors are available to assist parents and students with
any and all of their needs during this challenging but exciting
time. We look forward to working with all of you!
