At Roberson the Counseling Department has divided the student body among the counselors in order to provide personalized counseling as much as possible.  One counselor oversees the entire freshman class and has an office in the Freshman Academy.  Once students enter the tenth grade they are divided up alphabetically according to their last name and will remain with the same counselor through graduation.
