K-12 School Counselor Mission Statement
The MSAD 6 School Counseling Program is an integral part of the district’s comprehensive educational program, aligned with the shared mission to help all students reach their full potential.
School Counselors design and deliver a school counseling program that improves student outcomes. School Counselors help students develop mindsets and behaviors in the areas of academic, career, social/emotional development, as well as community involvement to ensure success in school and future, post-secondary pursuits.
Evolution from "Guidance" to "School" Counseling
Gone are the days of reactive “guidance counselors” who just meet with students in crisis. Today’s “school counselors” are collaborators, leaders, advocates, and change agents in schools, working to impact the achievement and holistic development of ALL students. We use data to monitor and measure the results of our programs and partner with everyone to improve student outcomes. Take a look at the video below to learn more!
