Welcome, Meeting with Your Counselor, Announcements, Upcoming, and Department Info.

Welcome to the Carrboro High School Student Services department!  Please utilize the navigation bar to your left (desktop) or above (mobile) to navigate our section of the school website.

How can I arrange to meet with anyone in Student Services?

• Walk-in
  • Before school, during lunch, after school
  • During class, if urgent or if you have time that day and it's okay with your teacher.
• Appointment
  • Email or come in person to schedule an appointment.
  • Leave a note with our secretary, Ms. Brooks, if we’re unavailable, and let us know what times work best for you.  We’ll follow up.

If you need urgent help

PLEASE, reach out for help if you are struggling!

Is Social Media to Blame? Put down the dopamine box. 57% of teen females (29% of males), and 69% of LGBQ+ (35% heterosexual), in 2021 said they experience persistent sadness or hopelessness. 30% of teen females (14% of males), and 45% of LGBQ+ (15% heterosexual), say they have seriously considered suicide. All of these numbers are significantly higher than in 2011. 16% of all teens report being bullied. 14% of females report being forced to have sex.

***Documents should have updated dates and years within the first few weeks of school. Please message your counselor with any questions.***

Class of 2024, the FAFSA is changing this cycle and will be available for you to complete December 2023 (estimated). Due to the late rollout (usually available Oct. 1), be prepared for a potentially tight turnaround to get the form completed and submitted by your school's deadlines in the spring.

Please mind the Daily Announcements so that you don't miss out on important information or opportunities.

Seniors, see our SENIOR INFORMATION, College Application Process, and To-Dos documents for more information on all college application logistics (visits, applications, Brag Sheets, recommendations, transcripts, Naviance). Specifically, here is the transcript request form that will add schools to the "Colleges I'm Applying to" section in Naviance and ensure your transcript is sent.
