The mission of the Frederick Douglass Elementary School Counseling program is to develop an appropriate, data-driven, comprehensive program that addresses the academic, career, and personal/social needs of all our students, and to provide a safe learning environment, in which we can build strong personal relationships while growing as respectful, responsible, and successful learners. We encourage an environment that appreciates and is inclusive of our diverse community. Our goal is to equip our students with the skills to be assertive for themselves and others along with creating learners that show self management, teamwork and relationships, awareness and responsible decision making. We encourage communication and collaboration with students, staff, families, and community members.

The vision of the Frederick Douglass Elementary School Counseling Program is to empower all students to reach their maximum potential, by using an appropriate and comprehensive program that addresses academic, personal/social, and career goals. We will do this by promoting an environment to encourage students to embrace their uniqueness, and continue to grow as life-long learners; preparing them for their future and helping them view themselves as important members of their community.
