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.
