La Mesa Counseling

The La Mesa counseling department is recognized for being committed to delivering an exemplary school counseling program. We are awarded for aligning our program with the criteria in the ASCA National Model®, a framework for a data-informed school counseling program. Research findings indicate fully implemented school counseling programs are associated with a range of positive student educational and behavioral outcomes.

The mission of the La Mesa counseling department is to engage in a flexible learning community that positively impacts the lives of ALL students in a nurturing environment. To do this we collaborate with our stakeholders to provide support and advocate for ALL students in achieving their academic and personal goals. Working in coordination with our families, teachers, administrators, support staff and community members, we strive to cultivate equity and inclusivity for all students in their behavioral and mindset development.

The comprehensive counseling department at La Mesa proactively supports ALL students to learn with vigor, lead with vision, and live with value.  ALL students will be opportunity ready through data-driven guidance and development in their academics, career and college goals, and social-emotional wellness.
