All students are given an advisory group that stays in place for them all four years. Weekly meetings and lunches give you time to connect, raise questions, and talk about concerns. Your faculty advisors will be your guide to all things Branson, helps you stay on track, and will act as your advocate when needed. What do students like best about advisory? The snacks!

Each grade has a Class Dean who acts as students' primary source of support and oversees all grade-level activities. Your Class Dean will follow you for all four years.

Our licensed counselor, Kim Fahlen, is available for all students to help navigate social and emotional situations whether major or minor, chronic, or acute. She says, "There are many adjustments throughout high school, and being able to talk during a difficult time and get objective guidance is extremely valuable.

Each time a student leaves my office, I hope to send them off with a new understanding, idea, or insight."
