The mission of Lila Bringhurst’s school counseling program is to provide proactive, comprehensive, and equitable services to ALL students of Bringhurst Elementary School. These services should be developmentally appropriate, and are aimed to support the healthy growth of students’ academic abilities, career exploration, and social-emotional skills and well-being. The school counseling program will do so by committing to frequent collaboration with stakeholders and actively engage in school leadership positions that are directed towards systemic change. By fostering community relationships while being a consistent advocate for the students at Bringhurst, the school counseling program will support students to become healthy individuals and lifelong learners who strive to be empathetic leaders in the future.
