What is a School Counselor?
A School Counselor is a positive adult connection for students and families. We advocate for the well-being of our students! We are trusted adults who the students can talk to no matter how they are feeling or what they are going through. The main goal for a counselor is to make sure our students are safe, healthy, happy, and feel like they belong at Desert View! :)
