BHS Guidance Department

Welcome to the Bangor High School Guidance Department website. This site provides links to educational websites that may prove helpful to both students and parents. The links have been organized into general categories described below. Just click on a category and you will be transferred to a list of websites that relate to that topic.  

While we hope parents and students find the content of these pages useful, this web site is not intended to serve as a substitute for students and parents working with their guidance counselor to assist the student. Rather, the purpose of this site is to enhance the student/parent/counselor relationship.

To make an appointment to see a counselor, please telephone 992-5516. An email can be generated by clicking on the name of the child's counselor in the table below.
