What We Do—School Counselors

Generally, school counselors are here to serve students across three domains: Academic, Career, and Personal/Social. Our school counseling program includes direct services like content instruction, appraisal and advisement, short-term counseling, and crisis responsive services. These could occur in individual, small group, or classroom settings. We also provide indirect services like collaboration and consultation with students' stakeholders, advocacy for students, and referrals for long-term and community support. Finally, we are also involved in data analysis and assessment (school and program), schoolwide system supports, and administrative and clerical tasks and fair share duties.

All students are encouraged to meet with their counselor (individually, or bring a friend!) to serve their needs, whether that's figuring out what to do after graduation and how to get there, dealing with something difficult, or goal-setting and strategizing about something important to you. We are here to see and hear you, to listen to you, and to help build your attitudes, knowledge, and skills however we can during this part of your lives.
