School Counseling Department Mission Statement
The mission of the Portsmouth High School Counseling program is to provide comprehensive programs and services that enable all students to develop the educational, career, and social and emotional maturity necessary to become responsible, self-directed individuals and life-long learners. This is achieved through both individual and group activities that involve parents, students, staff members and out of school resources and agencies.
These activities include (but not are not limited to):
The development of Individual Learning Plans (ILP), with lessons designed to develop goal setting and post-secondary planning through the XELLO platform.
PSAT8/9 for all Freshmen
PSAT10 in school for all Sophomores
PSAT/NMSQT for Juniors that opt in
SAT in school for all Juniors
Students are encouraged to make an appointment with their counselors to discuss any academic, social-emotional or post-secondary concerns as needed. In addition, counselors initiate meetings with students throughout the year to facilitate lessons in Individual Learning Plans (ILPs), course registration and post-secondary planning. Counselors regularly collaborate with other support professionals both within the school building and the larger community to meet the needs of students.
