Mission of the WMHS Counseling Department:
The goal of the WMHS Counseling Team is to develop a comprehensive school counseling program that addresses the personal/social, academic, and career development of all students. We are committed to helping students develop and successfully complete an educational plan that meets graduation requirements and fits students’ personal needs, interests, abilities, and career aspirations. We believe it is important to empower the students to be active members of society and encourage lifelong learning.
WMHS Counseling Standards:
The Standards for the school counseling program is comprised of the following three domains:
A. Academic Domain – includes academic counseling, which assists students and their parents in acquiring knowledge of the curriculum choices available to students, planning a program of studies, arranging and interpreting academic testing, and seeking post-secondary academic opportunities. This domain also focuses on achieving goals and assisting students in understanding the relationship of academics to the world of work, and to life at home and in the community.
B. Career Domain – includes career counseling, which helps students acquire information and take actions relative to work, jobs, apprenticeships, and post-secondary educational and career opportunities.
C. Personal/Social Domain – includes personal/social counseling, which assists students to develop an understanding of themselves, the rights and needs of others, and to resolve conflict and define individual goals reflecting their interests, abilities, and aptitudes. Students are also assisted in understanding and acquiring personal safety skills.
