Student Services

Sun Prairie High School counselors are committed to maximizing the success of all students through academic, personal/social, and career development.  To best become familiar with our students and their needs, students are assigned to counselors by their last names and keep the same counselor throughout high school.  If you would like to make an appointment with your counselor, please stop by the Student Services office and schedule a time before or after school or during study hall.  Lunch hour appointments are also available if necessary.
