Mission Statement

The mission of the Castle Rock High School counseling program is to provide equitable access to a data-driven comprehensive school counseling program that helps all students become resilient life-long learners and responsible citizens. I collaborate with students, parents, staff and community members to address the academic, social/emotional and college/career preparatory needs of our student body. I advocate for equity, access and success for every student. Students are encouraged and supported as they learn the skills necessary to navigate life after high school.

Vision Statement

The vision of the Castle Rock High School counseling program is that all students will realize their true value and worth as productive members of their community. They will demonstrate mastery of the critical academic, career and social/emotional skills necessary for success in the 21st century. Through school-wide collaborative efforts and support from families and the Castle Rock community students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue their post-secondary goals.
