Students are provided with opportunities to gain an understanding of self and others, to participate in educational and occupational exploration, and to pursue career- planning opportunities in an safe, caring, encouraging environment. The school counselors work in collaborative partnerships with all students, school staff, families, and other members of the community as an integral part of the education program. The school guidance and counseling program promotes school success through a focus on academic achievement, prevention and intervention activities, advocacy, social/emotional issues, and career development decisions. The school guidance and counseling program promotes the process of helping individuals and their families to make decisions and encourages life-long learning to empower students to reach their highest level of productivity in a technological society.
