What does a High School Counselor do?

Counselors work with students in 3 domains: Academic, Career, and Social/Emotional Development. We present to large groups, work with teachers to do classroom lessons, provide small group counseling, and meet with students and families individually to meet students' needs within each of the domains.
Similar to classroom teachers, counselors help students achieve benchmark standards set forth by the American School Counseling Association (ASCA). The standards above guide our practice as counselors as we help students reach their full potential as learners and as members of society.
