Welcome to The Harlandale High School Counseling Department! We are dedicated to providing a comprehensive guidance and counseling program addressing the whole child to maximize academic achievement, social and emotional development, and post-secondary college and career readiness. Counselors work to provide students with programs that support the four components of the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs: Guidance Curriculum, Responsive Services, Individual Planning, System Support.

Comprehensive Guidance Program

Guidance Curriculum- The guidance curriculum is designed to systematically provide lessons to students that facilitate growth, development, and transferrable skills in the areas of educational, career, personal, and social development.

Responsive Services- The purpose of responsive services is to intervene on behalf of any student whose immediate personal concerns or problems put the student's continued educational, career, personal, or social development at risk. These services include individual counseling, group counseling, teacher/parent consultations, and community referrals.

Individual Planning- The purpose of individual planning is to assist students in developing and addressing academic, career, personal, and social goals. Students need opportunities to understand and monitor their own development considering their individual needs, specialized circumstances or services, and cultural implications.

System Support- The purpose of system support is to support the efforts of teachers, staff, parents, and other members of the community in promoting the educational, career, personal, and social development of students.
