Greetings Parents and Students, Welcome to the information page for Charles Herbert Flowers High School Guidance Department. We plan to inform you of the latest events and resources that will help students to succeed in high school and plan for the future. Please check with us regularly for updates.

Counseling Services

In several schools in Prince George's County, free individual counseling and workshops are available for students and parents. For students, these counseling sessions will discuss decision-making skills, anger management, self-esteem, attendance, alcohol, tobacco & drug prevention, motivation, and goal setting. For parents, these workshops will discuss handling stress, alternatives to television, parent-school communication, single parenting, grandparents as parents, anger management, and effective discipline. For more information, call 301-749-4567.

Homework for Parents

With so many distractions in today's society, now more than ever, it is important to stay abreast of your teenage child's academic and social progress. Your child needs your guidance in preparing for the future.

Things to do:

  • Establish a relationship with your child's school and teachers. Don't always wait for educators to call you be proactive and initiate the contact. Research reveals a higher level of achievement for students whose parents are involved in the school.
  • Gain an understanding of your child's talents and interests. Use excellent websites such as www.careersandcolleges.com to relate their talents and interests with colleges and/or careers. The computerized guidance counselor will help guide you through the activities.
  • Continue to insist that your child respects you, others, and most importantly themselves. The development of high self-esteem, manners, and a positive attitude is critical to their success. Parents, your actions speak louder than words.
