Grade Level Counselors

Hunterdon Central operates in a “House System”, which means the same group of counselors, Vice Principal, and House Secretary meet students when they arrive at the high school and continue to serve them throughout their years at Central.
 
Students usually have the same grade level counselor for all four years, and this counselor guides them through their high school experience, specifically advising them on academic curriculum and course selection, and assisting in overall development.
