Counselors
School Counselors are highly educated, professionally licensed individuals who help all students in grades PreK-12 succeed in school and plan their career. An integral part of the total education system, School Counselors help students form healthy goals, mindsets and behaviors. With the aid of a School Counselor, students learn to develop effective collaboration and cooperation skills, to practice perseverance, to develop time management and study skills, and to learn self-motivation and self-direction habits.
