School Counselors
Olentangy High School offers a wide range of support services for students and families.
Our five school counselors provide academic guidance, including course scheduling, post-high school planning, college planning, and academic support, as well as assistance with social-emotional needs.
Our counseling registrar and guidance secretary also support students and parents with tasks such as registering for the SAT/ACT, requesting transcripts, and processing student fee payments.
