K-12 School Counseling Philosophy Statement

We, believe that:

All students are individuals who have self-worth and should be treated with respect and dignity.

Each student possesses a unique set of skills/strengths that can be utilized for the benefit of the classroom/community. All students deserve an opportunity to reach their highest potential.

All students are entitled to a safe environment which is essential to learning.

Learning is a lifelong and progressive process not only for students but also faculty.

Education is a cooperative effort among students, family, teachers, and the community partners.

All students have a right to benefit from a comprehensive counseling program that is supportive of student’s strengths, responsive to students’ needs, and developmentally appropriate.

As counselors in our school, we are student advocates and role models who will abide by the ethical guidelines and standards set forth by the American School Counseling Association.
