SPHS COUNSELING DEPARTMENT
Welcome to another exciting school year! It is the mission of the Santa Paula High School Counseling Department to encourage all students to reach their highest academic and personal potential through a comprehensive counseling program, which includes academic, social-emotional and college/career counseling.
Counselors assist students in identifying individual growth areas and provide support and guidance along the way. We see this as a collaborative effort- involving students, parents/guardians and teachers.
