School Counselors

News and Events

National School Counselor Week is February 3-7, 2025

School Counselors help students develop academically, socially, and professionally. They promote student success, provide preventive services, and respond to identified student needs by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program that addresses all aspects of student development. Counselors can also help parents with outside referrals to agencies for various types of assistance.

You are always encouraged to reach out to your school counselor, if your student is in need.
