Office of Student Services and Student Counselors
Student Counselors & Office of Student Services Directory
Our staff provides counseling services to students. We are here to enroll students in school, place them in appropriate classes, and help them meet their academic goals. Registering for classes and schedule changes are managed by a student counselor. Common reasons to schedule an appointment are because: a student is behind in grade-level credits, a student is creating his or her high school mapping, or graduation planning. We have other resources to help our students and families. We can provide sources for tutoring, crisis intervention, parenting, abuse, and mental health counseling/therapy, just to name a few. Our school is also staffed with a Social Worker and School Psychologist who may be able to help with further services.

Registration Packet: Click Here
Welcome to Wiregrass Ranch High School!
We are excited to welcome you to our campus, but for now we’ll have to complete the process by email and zoom. For registration questions, please contact our Registrar Ms. Tanya Hilton at thilton@pasco.k12.fl.us.
- In order to provide the best quality service to our students and families, we ask that you submit only fully complete registration packets and course selection sheets.
- Registration packets can be downloaded here. Please be sure to review and complete all 13 pages before the packet is submitted and include all documents required. For your convenience, these are stated on the first page of the registration packet.
- Please do not submit incomplete registration packets, as they are not able to be processed and will delay your registration timeline.
- Providing your student’s high school transcript (if applicable) and the first semester and third quarter report cards will assist in placement and prevent many issues, including incorrect placement, potential delays with graduation, and unnecessary schedule changes when we receive official records from the previous school.
- Once your packet is complete and verified by Ms. Hilton, one of our school counselors will reach out to you to set up a Zoom conference so the courses selected for next year can be verified and inputted. Be sure to review the courses and submit this document along with your packet.
- Finally, we anticipate that schedules will be available immediately prior to the beginning of the school year. Be sure to visit the school’s website regularly and listen for our School Messenger calls for more information as we near August 10th.
Thank you
