Counselor's Purpose Statement & Activities

The counselor's office exists 
to help students overcome the obstacles and barriers 
that keep them from being successful in the classroom, 
and ultimately in life.


As adults all of us have clutter and distractions that are a normal part of life, yet we still have jobs and responsibilities to manage.  As counselors, we work with students to teach them the life skills that enable them to work through those issues without being tripped up.  Among others, topics covered during classroom guidance will include:

  • Peer relationships
  • School to work transitions
  • Mapping an educational plan
  • Career exploration
  • Truancy/attendance
  • Personal management/disciplines
  • Decisions that derail goals
  • Sexual harassment
  • Bullying
  • Conflict management
