Welcome!
Welcome to the counseling program at Box Elder High School! Box Elder High School counselors can provide you with a variety of services including academic advisement, post high school planning, and career information. We can help you to develop and manage healthy life skills, healthy relationships, and coping skills. We also provide responsive services. Responsive services included crisis response, mental and emotional wellness skills, group counseling, and individual counseling. If you need services that we cannot provide, we will help you find someone who can help you.

Contacting Us:
BEHS counselors are available both by appointment and by walk-in. We encourage parents to call for an appointment to avoid waiting for service. To reach the counseling office, call (435) 734-4854 Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We encourage students to make appointments in the counseling center, but students may come in on a walk-in basis if in crisis, during breaks or when referred by a school staff member.

Disclosure Notice:
We make every effort to follow the counseling guidelines contained in the American School Counselor Association Code of Ethics. This means we will keep the information you share with us confidential—unless you give us permission to share it, or unless we are required by law or school policy to share it.

Examples of when we must share your information:
