NMHS Counseling Department Mission Statement

The mission of the New Manchester High School’s Counseling Program is to prepare all students for their post-secondary careers by providing a comprehensive school counseling program that removes barriers to learning, teaches life skills, and imparts knowledge that molds their attitudes, mindsets, and behaviors towards their future. By utilizing evidence-based strategies and interventions that are data-driven, we provide quality individual and small-group counseling sessions, rigorous and engaging classroom instruction, and supplemental career-related activities that foster a growth mindset, academic success, and fundamental career preparation. Additionally, we ensure that all students feel safe and supported as they learn and grow. As a team, we constantly collaborate with parents, faculty members, students, community liaisons, and our Advisory Council to ensure that we are providing equity and access for all. As a result, we empower our students to become lifelong, productive citizens.
