Counseling Staff

 We are very excited to be working with all of our Drillers! You can reach your counselor a couple of different ways. There are paper Request to See Counselor slips found in your second period classrooms or in the Counseling Office. Students may also fill out Electronic Request to See Counselor forms that can be found below under each counselor or on the BHS Counseling Classroom modules in Canvas. Emails can also be sent to counselors. The links to email addresses are embedded in each person's name listed below. 

If a student is in immediate danger/crisis, please go directly to the counseling office. If it is after hours, please contact law enforcement or crisis services. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-8255, or dial or text 988. The local Crisis Hotline is 1-800-991-5272. 

If you are worried about a fellow student who may be at risk of hurting themselves or others, you can use our Sprigeo School Safety Tip Line: https://app.sprigeo.com/district/kern-high-school-district/bakersfield-high-school

We have also created grade level specific Canvas Counseling Classrooms with all sorts of great information to help prepare for academics, careers, college, self-care, etc. Look for our link on your Canvas dashboard!

And as always- be safe and be kind!
