Bell's Crossing Counseling Department

Our Mission

Our school counseling department mission is to provide a comprehensive, developmental school counseling program addressing the academic, career, personal and social development of all students; in partnership with students, staff, family, and community we will strive to prepare students to become effective lifelong learners. 

Our Vision

Our vision is to provide developmentally appropriate counseling services for our students so that they become successful adults, who are leaders in all areas of their life.

2024-25 Counseling Program Outline:
