The guidance and counseling program provides students in grades K-12 with supplemental instruction in the development of skills, as well as the development and maintenance of lifetime goals. Group counseling is an integral component, as it enables more students with like concerns to have access to counseling. The counselor works as a group leader, with each member of the group contributing to the process. As a result, students begin to realize they are not unique in their situations. They also have the benefit of the experiences of other students' successes and failures.
Individual counseling is an additional component of the guidance program.
Crisis counseling, academic counseling or career counseling is available on a limited basis. Parent sessions are also provided. Programs are offered on the district level, as well as on individual campuses throughout the year. A comprehensive testing program is an essential part of the total educational program offered to students. It is based on the premise that students have the right to an education uniquely suited to their needs, interests and abilities.
