Welcome to the Hackettstown High School Guidance Web

"Our children are a living message we will send to a  future  that we will never see." 

Vision of Hackettstown High School 

     The Guidance Department at Hackettstown High School is the focal point of the school community, serving students, parents, teachers and administration.  Students may access services in the guidance office by making appointments with counselors assigned to them.  Counselors are available to assist and advise students about personal problems, academic problems, career choices, course selections, college choices and scholarship applications.  The guidance department also assists in student orientation information services and standardized testing.  The guidance office is open during regular school hours and throughout the summer.

        Warren County Community College          BIG NEWS

      DUAL ENROLLMENT CHANGES FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR        2008-2009      

A change to the Dual Enrollment Program with Warren County Community College will take effect for the academic year 2008-2009.  Warren County Community College will no longer require placement testing or SAT scores in order to receive college credit at no cost.  As a result, all that is required is a completed application for Dual Enrollment for each student participating.  In order to reach all our students, we will be enclosing a Dual Enrollment Application in with Report Cards.  Please take time to fill these out and return to the Guidance Department as soon as possible!  Should you have any questions please feel free to contact your child’s Guidance Counselor.

The following courses are available for college credit:
AP English
AP Chemistry
AP Biology
Environmental Science
AP Calculus
Statistics
AP US History
Contemporary Social Issues
AP Studio Art
Advanced Art Studio
Honors French III
Honors French IV
Honors Spanish III
Honors Spanish IV

If your child is scheduled to take any of these courses next year, again, I encourage you to fill out the application and return to the Guidance Department.  Applications will be sent home with the 3rd Quarter Report Cards.
