What is a school counselor?
A school counselor is a counselor and an educator who works in elementary, middle, and high schools to support the academic, personal/social, and career development of all students. This is done through creating a comprehensive, results-based school program that includes:
~Classroom and school-wide events, such as Red Ribbon Week activities (living a drug-free life), respect and anti-bullying presentations, and College and Career Day
~Coordination and consultation with students, teachers, families, and other support staff to help students succeed
~Small group and individual counseling, on a short-term basis, to help students develop new skills to use at school and at home
~Connecting families to community resources for additional counseling or other services needed
