The Mission of the School Counseling Program is to enhance student achievement in a safe and supportive environment.
School counselors collaborate with teachers, administrators, parents and community members to ensure that all students develop the academic, career and personal/social skills necessary to graduate from high school college/career ready and to achieve their greatest potential as members of our local and global community.
We Believe . . .

in a school which promotes problem-solving and decision-making
Each student has unique needs and learning styles
All students deserve to understand the relevancy of their education

Every student’s family deserves to be met without judgment
