Abstract: Senior High School Education is very important because it is one of the levels for progressing to tertiary institutions. The study assessed the guidance and counselling services offered in the Tamale Senior High School Tamale, within the Metropolis and investigated how students are accessing the services. The qualitative research approach was used with Action research design for the study. The sample beneficiary was about (100) hundred respondents which made up of two (2) guidance and counselling coordinators, (98) ninety-eight students, but after introducing them to additional information in Artistically designed manual as an intervention, the guidance and counselling coordinators revealed that this had marginally improved assessment of the service. The recommendations made pointed to the need for guidance and counselling coordinators making efforts to provide additional information to help their students to understand the types of guidance services available and to encourage the students to access them. There is also the need for the Ghana Education Service to train teachers to gain professional knowledge and skills in guidance and counselling so they can serve their students better.
