Welcome Center Counseling Information

The Welcome Center's Counseling Team helps new students make a smooth transition into LCPS by gathering educational histories, providing clear and consistent evaluations of international transcripts and providing students and families an overview of Virginia graduation requirements and LCPS programs/opportunities available to them.
