School Counselor

School counselors work with students, families, communities and school staff to address academic, career, and social and emotional development needs for all students in grades preschool to twelfth grade.

School Counselors are responsible for creating a Comprehensive School Counseling Program (CSCP), which is an integral part of the total school program and is aligned with the school’s mission. The CSCP is a proactive, systemic approach to assist students with the acquisition of attitudes, knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary to maximize student success and prepare for a variety of postsecondary options.

Personalized Education Plans (PEP)

Every year students will explore their career interests as a part of the school curriculum which will help them determine their career after graduation. Starting in 8^th grade, students meet with their family, advisors, and school counselor to develop their class schedule for the next year. The student’s class schedule will be built according to their career interests as well as to ensure that they have taken the classes that are required for graduation.
