Counseling Program

Our Mission

We strive for our students to feel empowered to become globally minded, ethical, and productive individuals who are prepared to enter college or the workforce. 

Our Vision

We aim for excellence in teaching and for our students to find success in learning. We want to prepare our students for life in society by providing college- and career-readiness opportunities.

Our Beliefs

• Every student can achieve success and reach their full potential. They have the ability to learn and to reach their individual potential, leaving high school college and career ready.

• Teachers and educators make a lasting difference in the lives of their students. A comprehensive school counseling program helps us to meet the developmental needs of our students, promote academic growth, foster positive values, and ensure students learn respectful behaviors.

• Parents and communities are essential partners in student success. It is essential to advocate for equitable access, collaborate with stakeholders, and prioritize the personal, academic, and career growth for every student.

• Our school counseling department upholds the highest ethical standards of integrity, professionalism, and leadership. Decision making towards goals for our students and school as a whole is driven by data.

Data

School counselors rely on formal and informal data to meet student needs. Below are several examples:

• Student surveys

• Conversations or written responses from students and parents

• Teacher observations

• In-progress and historical grades

• Career assessments

• Standardized test scores

• School-wide data (pulled from PowerSchool)
