Today's school counselors are vital members of the education team. They help all students in the areas of academic achievement, personal/social development and career development, ensuring today's students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow.
East Palestine City Schools Counseling Philosophy
The East Palestine School District adheres to the philosophy that the school counseling program is an essential and integral part of the overall education process. The comprehensive program is built on the assumption that certain academic, career, and personal objectives are attainable when school counseling for all students is provided. This implementation acknowledges that school counseling is no longer a service to be offered by one person but a program coordinated with other educators incorporating a comprehensive curriculum.

CLASS OF 2023 AND BEYOND
Ohio law enacted new, long-term graduation requirements for the class of 2023 and beyond. Guidance is now available here for these long-term graduation requirements. The guidance document provides more information on the competency scores and detailed information about each of the state-defined seals. Updates will be made to the document as more information becomes available and additional guidance is finalized. Please note the version date at the bottom of the document.
Ohio law directed the Department of Education, in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Higher Education and the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, to establish a competency score on the English language arts II and algebra I end-of-course tests. The Ohio Department of Education, after gathering feedback from Ohio’s education stakeholders and business communities, determined that “competency” would be set at a score of 684 for both the English language arts II and algebra I tests.
