Vision

Our mission is to provide and empower all students to reach their fullest potential. Through a comprehensive program, our counseling services will address the academic, career, personal, emotional and social development of all students.
|
Our vision is that all students graduate high school, excel in post-secondary education, and pursue the career of their choice in order to be prepared to meet the continually evolving demands of society. It is our goal that each student will be afforded the opportunity to become healthy, capable, and productive members of society.

Beliefs
We believe that:
- Students have the ability to succeed but simply need assistance developing the skills necessary to be socially competent and emotionally equipped
- Rapport building is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship
- Each student is worthy of empathy
- Counselors should meet each student where there are; being mindful of the diverse strengths, needs, and abilities that contribute to academic, community, personal, and social constructs
- Advocacy (effectively communicating with teachers, family members, and community persons) is essential.
- Using data to inform program decisions is best practice
- Using ethical standards to guide our work is crucial
