Beliefs and Philosophy
We believe all students have a right to:
- a quality and rigorous education
- a safe and supportive learning environment
- services that support academic, career and personal/social growth
- be heard and treated with dignity and respect.
- a credentialed school counselor who collaborates with other educators, families, and the community as an advocate for their success
And that a school counseling Program
