Counselors work together in partnership with the families and community at large to promote the development of each student's academic, personal/social, and career potential. The goal of counseling is to take a proactive and preventative approach when possible, but also to work with students to resolve current issues that impact personal growth and achievement. Through a comprehensive counseling program that is developmentally appropriate, counselors assist all students in realizing their abilities, interests, and goals as they transition through the educational process to become successful members of society and life-long learners.
