Welcome to the School Counseling Department

The School Counseling Department supports all children's social-emotional development, academic progress, and college and career readiness.

We use a child-centered, family-driven, and solutions-focused approach.

We commit to providing a safe, inclusive, nurturing environment where all students feel welcome.

We seek to inspire all students to develop their individual potential to become life-long learners and actively-engaged citizens in our diverse and changing world.
