High School Counselors

Tooele Tech works with amazing high school counselors who refer students who are self-motivated and ready for college-level training and coursework.

School counselors will work with students to determine Tooele Tech courses and possible Pathway credit in alignment with the student鈥檚 Plan for College and Career Readiness (PCCR). Space is limited in each program.聽 For this reason, after the 2nd week of the semester, all enrollments or schedule changes must be approved through Tooele Tech.

Students choosing to withdraw must notify both Tooele Tech and their school counselor.

Attendance and grades will be entered on the Tooele County School District’s (TCSD) Student Information System – Aspire.

鈥淐ounselors are the heart of education! We value your engagement with Tooele Tech as we strive together to provide students with quality, life-elevating, career and technical education opportunities. Our desire is to add to the classes available at the school district in respectful and meaningful ways. The collaborative partnership between TCSD, Tooele Tech and USU Tooele is critical to all of us. The shared goal is to provide opportunities for students to explore, advance, and/or become employed in a career that steps them into additional educational opportunities or gives them the means to become productive members of our community.

Our partnership has blossomed over time and become even more organized and valuable to students. Please reach out with questions or ideas on how we can be more efficient and supportive to your students who are attending Tooele Tech. We appreciate your understanding as we seek to improve the way we enroll students into our courses. Thank you for being an essential part of what we do together!鈥
