Believing that all students have the capacity to learn and achieve represents what it means to have high expectations. School counselors are role models and exemplify and motivate students to achieve their best individual efforts in academic performance. This comes when students have a well-rounded support system that encourages their mental, emotional, social, physical and educational well-being. School counselors can support students by helping them set realistic goals that are measurable and achievable.Â
