Mission Statement
The mission of the school counseling program is to
facilitate each student’s spiritual, personal, social,
academic and career development through the delivery
of guidance instruction and counseling activities.
Additionally, the counselor enhances the collaborative
efforts between home and school for the success of each
individual child. Ultimately, the school counselor’s
role is to foster personal responsibility in all students
as they work toward becoming productive, spiritual
citizens who are able to effectively manage future
challenges in an ever-changing world.
