School Counselors
School counselors play a vital role in supporting the academic, social, and emotional growth of every student. They work closely with students, families, teachers, and administrators to create a safe and supportive learning environment. Through guidance lessons, individual and group counseling, and targeted interventions, school counselors help students develop skills for success in school and beyond. They also assist with academic planning, college and career readiness, and provide resources to address personal challenges. By fostering strong relationships and promoting student well-being, school counselors are key partners in helping students reach their full potential.
