All students have value and we preserve dignity and promote the growth and success of all students without bias to cultural, religious, socioeconomic, gender, sexual orientation, special needs, or academic differences.
Effective school counseling is a collaborative process involving school counselors, students, families, teachers, administrators, and other school staff and education stakeholders.
We believe that student success is directly linked to empowerment and a strong sense of identity. Empowering students to take control of their learning and celebrating their unique identities are fundamental to their academic and personal growth.
We believe that as educators it is our responsibility to meet the educational and social emotional needs of every student.
