Mission

The mission of the River Bluff High School counseling program is to provide a proactive, comprehensive,

and developmental counseling program that impacts each student in the academic, career and

personal/social domains. Serving as student advocates, River Bluff High School counselors unite school,

family, and community stakeholders to collaborate for the success of all students. This partnership creates a

school climate which provides our students with the skills needed to think critically and become productive

citizens and life-long learners.

The counselors at River Bluff High School believe:

-All students are unique and valuable and will be served by the counseling program.

-All students can learn and we recognize they learn in different ways.

-The school and community must embrace diversity and promote the value of the individual.

-We should at all times act as the student advocate.

-In the value of collaboration.

-All students should have access to a full-time, state-certified, master’s degree-level school counselor and a nationally certified career development facilitator to deliver the counseling program.

And the comprehensive school counseling program should:

-Be based on goals and developmental student competencies provided by the American School Counselor

Association, the South Carolina Department of Education, and Lexington County School District One.

-Be proactive.

-Consider the developmental needs of all students.

-Be planned in collaboration with all stakeholders in the school and community.

-Be data driven.
