School Counseling Mission Statement

The School Counseling Program’s mission is to support student development of positive mindsets and behaviors that are instrumental in student growth as they continue becoming productive, caring citizens and lifelong learners so that they can experience life success.

School Counseling Vision Statement

Kenai Alternative High School graduates experience life success as adults. They can choose and apply mindsets and behaviors that help them thrive in a dynamic world and contribute to the success of others. 


School counseling programs are intended to provide equitable access for all students to gain the skills to promote lifetime learning, decision making, long-range planning, career self management, and social development to become responsible members of their community and world. A comprehensive school counseling program is essential to helping the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (KPBSD) achieve its mission of supporting students in life success.


Comprehensive school counseling programs assure that parents/guardians are provided access to available school and community resources. Through the employment of a comprehensive school counseling program a positive, collaborative, and interdisciplinary approach is established between all educators: teachers, counselors, and administrators.
