Mrs. Iverson's Counselor Corner

I am so excited for another year to be the School Counselor at IHE! 

As your school counselor, my goal is to support every student’s success through a comprehensive school counseling program aligned with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model. This means I am committed to helping students develop not only academically but also in their social-emotional well-being and future career readiness.

Our counseling program focuses on three key domains:

• Academic Development: Supporting students in achieving their educational goals through study skills, goal setting, and personalized support.
  
  

• Social-Emotional Learning (SEL): Equipping students with the tools to build healthy relationships, manage emotions, and make responsible decisions.
  
  

• Career Readiness: Helping students explore their interests and strengths, and begin thinking about their future pathways.

Our counselors are dedicated to ensuring equity, access, and opportunity for every student, fostering a safe and supportive learning environment. By equipping students with the attitudes, knowledge, and skills necessary to unlock their full potential, we pave the way for them to achieve their highest aspirations. Aligned with the ASCA National Model, our program is committed to actively dismantling barriers and addressing disparities in achievement, attendance, and behavior, while also preparing students for career readiness and their roles as productive members of society.
