Counseling Staff

Welcome to the BHS Counselor Page!
 
 One of the best ways to get in touch with a counselor for non-emergency needs at Bakersfield High School is electronically! We have links below. To email your counselor, please click on their name. During this time of "shelter in place," we have created a new form that not only students can use but also parents and community members.  Once you have submitted a request, please be patient and allow a day or two for your counselor to get in touch with you.
STUDENTS! While we are all home during this unprecedented time of abundant caution to combat COVID-19, please check your Google Counseling Classroom daily!
