About

We follow the ASCA National Model in the work we do as school counselors.  Our program strives to:

  • be based on data-informed decision making
  • be delivered to all students systematically
  • include a developmentally appropriate curriculum focused on the mindsets and behaviors all students need for postsecondary readiness and success
  • close achievement and opportunity gaps
  • result in improved student achievement, attendance, and discipline
