Vision Statement:
Our students will be part of a supportive and empowering environment where every student feels valued, understood, and equipped to navigate the challenges and expectations ahead. We strive to foster resilience, academic success, and emotional well-being through personalized guidance, collaboration with families, and the cultivation of a positive school community. Together, we aim to inspire students to discover their strengths, embrace their individuality, and become confident, compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to promote academic success and holistic development for every student through a comprehensive counseling program that prioritizes social/emotional education, personal growth, and self-confidence. We are dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive space where students can explore their strengths, develop essential life skills, and build meaningful relationships. By collaborating with educators, families, and the community, we aim to empower students to reach their full potential, fostering resilient individuals who are prepared to thrive both academically and personally.
School counselors are certified, licensed educators who improve student success for ALL students by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program. We work to maximize student success, promoting access and equity for all students by collaborating with school staff, parents, and the community to create a safe, respectful learning environment.
School counselors help all students:
apply academic achievement strategies
manage emotions and apply interpersonal skills through short-term, targeted interventions
plan for postsecondary options (higher education, military, work force, etc.)
