Counseling Department Vision & Mission

Vision Statement

The John W. North High school counseling program vision is for all students to graduate fully prepared and ready to engage in a global society. Our students are resilient advocates who actively work at making positive changes in their community through problem-solving, dynamic communication, and effective collaboration. They possess the attitude, knowledge, and skills that are required of autonomous individuals during ethical decision making. All students will have the academic preparation, college and career readiness, and social/emotional strategies to be successful in the post-secondary path of their choice.

Mission Statement

The mission of the John W. North High School Counseling Department is to provide a proactive, comprehensive, and developmentally appropriate program that addresses students' academic and career goals in addition to supporting their personal and social needs. In partnership with parents, guardians, community members, and other educators, school counselors facilitate this support system to ensure all students at North become successful, responsible citizens and lifelong learners in a diverse and changing world.
