A comprehensive school counseling program is an integral part of the educational process. It fosters the academic, career, and personal/social development of students so that they become productive and responsible citizens in a diverse and global community. We interact not only with students, but also with parents, teachers, administrators, and outside agencies and organizations in order to provide the best educational environment and opportunities for all students.
