Counselors
Counselors help each student’s educational, career, and personal development by providing guidance and support to prepare students for post-secondary success in college, career, and other pursuits. Our counselors work with all grade levels and are assigned to students based on the alphabetical order of students’ last names.
Students are encouraged to request an appointment to meet their counselor. Drop-in sessions are available during brunch and lunch. Parents/guardians are welcome to request an appointment with their student’s counselor. You may contact the counselor through ParentSquare, email, or phone at 408-535-6340.
Counselors are not available during holidays, weekends, or school breaks.

Destination College Advising Corp Advisors
Destination College Advising Corps (DCAC) is a college access program partnered with UC Berkeley, whose mission is to increase college access to first generation, low income, and historically underrepresented high school students. We have two full time College Advisers at Gunderson High, Shenir Dennis and Grecia Delgado, who assist all students in Grades 9-12 with the college application process, post-secondary goal planning, and any college readiness related topics. Their office is located in the Library, Room D.
Family Night Presentations
Counselors provide presentations to families, by grade level, once a semester. Each presentation is geared to provide important information based on grade level. Parents/guardians will be invited to the presentations ahead of time.
