Student learning and individual student success are the ultimate goals of our school counseling program. Rigor, relevance and relationships are at the heart of student achievement, our counseling program, and successful schools. Our school counseling program's design, delivery system, and content focuses on enhancing the ability of all students to utilize the educational opportunities available to them, and includes state and national standards for our guidance curriculum, individual planning, responsive services and system support.
Our school counseling program addresses three domains: academic development, personal/social growth, and career development. As a comprehensive school counseling program, we focus on what all students should know, understand, and be able to do within these domains in order to develop into contributing members of our society. Our school counseling program provides and supports the delivery of specific skills and information in a proactive, preventive manner to ensure that all students have the opportunity to achieve school success. Additionally, our school counseling program serves to provide intervention and referral services for those students who are experiencing difficulties in their lives which interfere with their academic achievement.
The school counselors are well prepared to guide students during these adolescent years and are prepared to effectively consult with their parents. Since one of the primary developmental tasks of this age group is to learn how to function independently, we do not notify parents every time a contact is made between a student and his/her counselor. We consider open communication between students and their parents to be of utmost importance and encourage this as we work with students.
