THE MISSION OF THE GERMANTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM IS TO EMPOWER AND INSPIRE EVERY STUDENT TO SUCCESS!

The Germantown School District Comprehensive School Counseling Program is based on the National Standards for School Counseling Programs and the Wisconsin Comprehensive School Counseling Model, which integrates academic, career, and personal /social development. The school counseling program reflects the progression of student development from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. It is delivered through a direct service program consisting of the following components:

•School Counseling Curriculum

•Individual Planning

•Responsive Services

•System Support

The program is systematic, sequential, clearly defined, and accountable. DPI licensed school counselors develop, implement, and assess all program components through collaboration with teachers, parents/guardians, administrators, students, and community/businesses. Curriculum delivery is a collaborative effort of all school staff. The school counseling program helps ensure equal opportunity for all students to participate fully in the educational process.

The primary goal of the school counseling program is to enhance student achievement. The school counseling program and the roles of the school counselor are determined by the educational, career, and personal/social developmental needs of students.
