NHCS Counseling Mission Statement

The mission of the New Hanover County School Counseling Program is to ensure that every student has access to the support necessary to reach their personal, academic and career goals by intentional impact actions that support their success.

The American School Counseling Association (ASCA)  asserts that the school counseling is an integral part of the overall educational experience. Our school counseling department is committed to providing all students with a comprehensive school counseling program which systematically addresses the three areas of academic, career, and personal/social development. It is our belief that in doing so, we assist students in exploring, planning, and realizing their individual interests, abilities, and goals, thus helping them to reach their full potential as productive members of society
