Mission

To provide a comprehensive, developmental counseling program that addresses the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students. In collaboration with other staff members and stakeholders, the school counseling program will lead in the development and facilitation of support systems. These systems will minimize barriers and ensure that all students have equal access to learning. As a result, students will acquire college- and career-readiness skills.
