DRA COUNSELING

Our counseling practice aligns with the American School Counselor Association's National Model and we value collaboration among all stakeholders, the uniqueness of each student, addressing every situation with empathy and understanding. We support a positive school climate, fostering accountability, integrity, and respect through healthy decision-making and relationships.

Vision

Students at DRA are self-motivated, respectful, and forward-thinking learners who are continually striving for personal and academic growth. DRA students are advocates of self and others who actively seek to help those around them. DRA students value the importance of continued academic and career education and are prepared for high school and beyond.

Mission

The Desert Ridge Academy Counseling Program is a data-informed, multi-tiered and multi-domain system of support designed to empower all students, maximizing their potential as lifelong learners and promoting the formation of culturally aware and responsible community members through academic, career, and social/emotional development.

​Confidentiality Statement

Your confidentiality and privacy as a student is important to us. What you tell us will never be repeated to others unless you reveal information on harming yourself, harming others, situations of being physically, emotionally, or sexually abused or we are required by the court or legal proceedings to do so. If there is ever a need to reveal information, we will ensure that you are aware of this and we will work with you to handle the situation in a way that respects you, your feelings, and your needs.
