 Meet your counselors

The mission of the Nevada Joint Union High School District’s Counseling Department is to provide all students with a strong foundation in the academic, social/emotional, and college and career areas of development. 

In accordance with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model, we believe:

• Every student can learn and every student can succeed. 

• Every student should have access to and opportunity for high-quality education. 

• Every student should graduate from high school prepared for postsecondary opportunities. 

• Every student should have access to a comprehensive school counseling program. 

• Effective school counseling is a collaborative process involving all stakeholders: school counselors, students, families, school faculty, administrators, and community. 

• School counselors are leaders in the school, district, state, and nation. 

• Comprehensive school counseling programs promote and enhance student academic, career, and social/emotional outcomes.

NJUHSD school counselors: 

• serve as leaders and collaborators in assessing barriers to learning and academic success and will advocate for equity and access to programs for all students.

• abide by the ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors to make informed decisions based on the highest moral principles.

• apply and analyze data to create effective college and career readiness programs that prepare students to compete in the global market.
