Prospect School Counselors offer students support in the achievement of high school goals and preparation beyond high school. The counseling department regularly works with students, parents, guardians, staff, and teachers to help ensure student success. We meet with students individually, in groups, and during class visits throughout the school year. Click here for more information on how to work with your school counselor.
Students can drop-in during break, lunch, and after school or make appointments to meet with their school counselor one-on-one, through Canvas or email, at any time throughout the year. Parents and guardians are welcome to schedule a meeting or contact their student’s school counselor via Canvas, email or phone.
Our College & Career Center ("CCC") is staffed by a dedicated specialist, Amy Bencomo, and a team of professional volunteers for the benefit of all Prospect students. Students are welcome to drop by the CCC, located in the Student Union, anytime during the regular school year or expect to see us on campus in the following capacities:
- On Tuesdays & Thursdays in the Student Union during Study Hall & Lunch to explore career, colleges, write resumes, find scholarships, and to use Naviance Family Connection and more!
- College Visits are scheduled mostly in the fall during Study Hall & Lunch, dates and locations vary. Please check Prospect's calendar and Naviance for schedule and to RSVP.

Seniors & Juniors - Planning for College?
Stop by the CCC anytime for assistance with your college application questions. In addition to daily availability with Ms. Bencomo, there are extra professional volunteers on-hand in the Student Union every Tuesday and Thursday during Study Hall/Lunch to help with your college planning.
