Annie Purl's comprehensive school counseling program aims to empower students to succeed not only on an academic level but also in their future careers and personal lives. One of the primary roles of a professional school counselor is to foster the healthy development of every student in each of these three domains, regardless of race, gender, age, or degree of disability. This occurs through evidence-based intervention methods implemented in classroom guidance activities, small group counseling, and individual responsive counseling to teach essential skills.

Our focus for the 2025-2026 school year is to enhance relationship-building skills and cultivate student-teacher and student-student connections that create authentic learning experiences and establish a campus culture of self-reflection, acceptance, and safety for all Annie Purl Elementary School students and staff.
