Mission

The mission of the Medina Central School District comprehensive counseling program is to foster a desire within all students to pursue educational, personal/social and career goals. We strive to enhance their unique character and aid them in becoming well-rounded, diversely skilled and capable contributing members of an ever-changing world.

Vision

The Medina Central School District School Counselor vision includes collaborating with students in the personal pursuit of excellence. We recognize that each student will follow his or her own pathway to success. Thus, we aim toward nurturing individual potential by way of self-awareness, wholesome decision making and reverence for others.  Working in conjunction with school administrators, teachers, and parents to facilitate the achievement of a student’s individual success, we take pride in our competence to genuinely connect, demonstrate compassion, and be empathic with all students.

Philosophical beliefs

The Medina Central School District Counselors believe:

• All students can learn and should be given the opportunity to do so.

• All students have dignity and worth and have a right to a safe, mutually respectful, healthy and orderly learning environment.

• Learning involves the education of the whole person and is a continuous lifelong process.

• All students have the right to participate in the school counseling program.

• Learning requires the active participation, mutual respect and individual accountability of students, teachers, staff, parents and community members.

• Diversity is to be respected and appreciated as we foster unity among our students, faculty, staff and community.
