PHILOSOPHY

School counseling is viewed as an educational philosophy as well as a distinct, defined program of services that are an integral part of our educational process. As a philosophy the program is committed to the belief that each individual student has the potential for positive growth, development and personal achievement. The program strives to inspire young people to enjoy learning and growing, to nurture one’s sense of self worth, to take responsibility for one’s life and to develop a sense of belonging to a community. School counseling services facilitate and nurture the developmental personal-social, career and educational needs of all students. It is collaborative in nature and depends on the continuing support of school, staff, parents, and community.
