Kinard Counseling Beliefs

Every student has individual worth and value.

All students deserve opportunities to learn, grow, and develop in an open and positive environment.

The balance of intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs are important to academic success.

​A school community built upon safety and mutual respect is the environment that will best support students.

School counselors abide by the professional school counseling ethics as advocated by the American School Counseling Association.

It is important to demonstrate an understanding of and sensitivity to issues of ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation and socio-economic status as related to educational equity.  

Comprehensive and developmentally appropriate counseling programs based upon the ASCA National Model should be facilitated by a certified school counselor
