The School Counseling Program at the junior high level addresses the personal, social, emotional and academic needs of students. The role of the school counselor is to counsel, consult and collaborate with students, parents, staff and administration. All subjects discussed are kept confidential unless the student requests or consents to the inclusion of another interested person or as required by mandating reporting laws.
The counseling program follows the ASCA (American School Counselor Association) Mindsets and Behaviors for Student Success supporting K-12 College and Career Readiness for every student which describes the knowledge, skills and attitudes students need to achieve academic success, college and career readiness and social/emotional development.
