The mission of Patton Counseling Department is to provide comprehensive, proactive support to every student, fostering academic, career, and social/emotional growth. Through collaboration with staff, families, and community members, we equip students with lifelong learning skills and facilitate smooth transitions to future stages, empowering them to thrive and contribute beyond school.
Patton's School Counseling Program ensures all students have access to personalized learning and growth through a rigorous counseling curriculum and classroom lessons. Supported by partnerships among counselors, school staff, families, and the community. Students are prepared to succeed in high school and beyond as lifelong learners and productive, positive contributors to society.
To help our students expand their emotional awareness and feeling vocabulary, the SSC has introduced a monthly feeling word. This initiative is designed to expose students to a wider range of emotions and support their ability to identify and express how they feel.
We’ve noticed that many students rely on basic feeling words such as sad, mad, or happy. While these are important, feelings are complex and exist on a spectrum. Emotions can vary in both pleasantness and energy level. By learning more specific feeling words, students can better understand their emotions, communicate their needs, and develop stronger social-emotional skill.
