School Counselor

School counselors are certified/licensed educators who improve student success for ALL students by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program. School counselors deliver developmentally appropriate activities and services directly to students or indirectly for students as a result of the school counselor’s interaction with others. These activities and services help students develop the ASCA Student Standards: Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success and improve their achievement, attendance and discipline. Through the school counseling program, school counselors ensure equitable academic, career and social/emotional development opportunities for all students.

Direct services are in-person interactions between school counselors and students and include classroom Life Skills, small group support, and individual support. Indirect services are provided on behalf of students as a result of the school counselors’ interactions with other stakeholders including consultation, collaboration, and referrals.
