Appointments
To make an appointment students or their parents and guardians can email us, call the counseling office, or schedule an appointment through our online book pages. Students may also come into the counseling office to make an appointment.
Walk-in-appointments will be worked into our schedule if possible, but are not guaranteed to be seen same-day. In an effort to best serve students and their families its important that we're prepared and have time to see you, so we encourage you to make an appointment that fits your schedule

We aim to respond to emails within 24 business hours and voicemails within 48 hours, though unforeseen circumstances may cause delays . Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Invest-ED - WE HELP STUDENTS

Engage in School,
and Graduate
Celebrating 60+ years of providing immediate help for students in need.
In 1963, Saul Haas was dropping his daughter off at Garfield High School. He caught sight of a girl shivering outside. He asked his daughter why she wasn't wearing a coat. She replied, "Dad, she doesn't have money. She never wears a coat." Saul could have driven away that day. As the co-founder of KIRO TV and Radio he had plenty on his mind. But he couldn't forget the girl.
He went to the principal's office, handed principal Frank Hanawalt a check for $500 with one stipulation: give to students in need immediately, discreetly and with no red tape.
Since 1963 InvestED support has grown from one coat to include food, clothing sports fees, computers, mental health needs, classroom field trips, music and performing arts, graduation expenses and so much more.
