In partnership with home and community, the counseling program focuses on developing within each individual the skills that are essential to become a responsible citizen who respects cultural diversity and successfully compete in an ever-changing world economy.

The guidance team works collaboratively with each other to develop proactive measures that identify barriers to student achievement and personal well-being. The counseling program works diligently to be an integral component of the academic mission of the school to ensure that every student has equitable access to the school guidance program and to identify and provide the necessary skills for a healthy lifestyle.

Using an approach that focuses on treating the whole child, Guidance Counselors provide students with academic and career guidance and address their social and emotional needs. Students meet with counselors on an individual and group basis to discuss academic progress and other needs. Counselor help create, direct and monitor student academic progress through the use of the Four-Year-Plan that is based on student career and postsecondary goals.
