School Counseling

The school counseling program at Chapin High School focuses on the students. We see each student as an individual with unique needs. The program is designed to address the needs of all students by helping them acquire competency in career planning, interpersonal growth, and educational development. The goal is to enable each student to become a responsible, self-sufficient, productive, contributing member of the community. School counselors are assigned by students last name. Please review the directory below.
