Role of the Professional School Counselor 

The role of the School Counselor is to support all students academically, emotionally and socially. This is achieved by providing classroom guidance lessons and group and individual counseling. By working alongside the administrative team, the counselor supports all stakeholders while striving to make positive connections and build relationships. 

Leadership and Advocacy

The school counselor advocates for all students, families, staff and the counseling program to ensure success and a positive learning environment. Through constant collaboration with administration, the school counselor sees each class for guidance lessons once a month, conducts small group counseling and individual sessions, and provides the staff with trauma-informed trainings. In order to give every student the most effective educational opportunity while promoting positive self-esteem, the school counselor organizes and hosts events throughout the year such as: Start with Hello Week, Red Ribbon Week, World Kindness Day, and Career Day.
