Mission Statement

The comprehensive school counseling program assists students in their personal and professional growth through curriculum addressing academic, career and personal/social development of all students. All students will be provided with the maximum opportunity to attain the skills, knowledge and attitude to reach their highest potential as productive members of society.


What does a school counselor do?

A School Counselor does... A School Counselor does Not...
Work with ALL students to encourage a safe climate of trust and respect. Work with only special ed., regular ed., or "problem" students.
Deliver classroom lessons that align to ASCA standards. Assign grades after lessons or teach academic subjects.
Facilitate small groups. Facilitate therapy groups.
Meet individually with students to do brief, solution-focused counseling. Meet individually with students to do long-term mental health counseling/therapy.
Help students who are struggling to make positive behavior choices. Handle the discipline or assign consequences.
Collaborate with parents/guardians, teachers, support staff and administration. Collaborate with only one person. A team approach including the school counselor works best.
Maintain the confidentiality of students and their families unless there is a need to know or safety concern. Share information about students and their families to appease the curiosity of others.
Provide education and information about students' social-emotional needs. Tell teachers how to teach in their classrooms or tell parents how to parent at home.
