counseling program that has a primary focus on promoting student engagement,
achievement and excellence while providing the skills necessary for students to
contribute to a diverse and evolving society. In partnership with school staff members,
parents, and community members, we will emphasize the academic, career, and
social/emotional development of the student along with meeting individual student
needs.
According to American School Counselor Association (2016), counselors help all students in
the areas of academic achievement, personal/social development and career
development, ensuring todays students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of
