School Counseling

Hampton City Schools’ School Counseling Program

The mission of the Hampton City Schools’ Office of Student Development and Counseling is to provide a comprehensive school counseling program that is preventive and proactive in nature and equips students with the academic, career, and social/emotional skills necessary to contribute positively to their local and global community.  Our students will be college and career-ready and possess the skills necessary to be successful 21st-century lifelong learners.  They will effectively demonstrate cultural awareness and appreciation of the unique contributions of others.

Our professional school counselors and college and career coaches will provide opportunities for all students, K-12, to learn about themselves and develop the skills of productive and responsible citizens. 

The department focuses on each student’s potential growth within the context of his or her individual, family, and multicultural perspective.  It is a collaborative effort among the school counselor, parents, teachers, and community that promotes student achievement and works to close the achievement gap.
