Counseling
Promoting student success.
High school counselors work with all students, school staff, families and members of the community as an integral part of the education program. School counseling programs promote school success through a focus on academic achievement, prevention and intervention, advocacy, social/emotional and career development. School counselors help students overcome problems that impede learning and assist them in making educational, occupational and life plans.

What We Do
We are a team of dedicated helping professionals who meet state requirements to practice in a variety of roles within our district’s school settings.

We strive to understand students' social and emotional perspectives so that we may help them achieve academic and social success. We want to be the link that connects school, home and the community and to provide beneficial and supportive services to students, families and staff.
Our team may:
- Coordinate and facilitate student meetings to address mental wellness, social and emotional coping skills
- Provide student referrals to in-school or community therapy programs
- Find support for family basic needs
- Address barriers to students’ regular attendance at school
- Provide crisis intervention and support
