School counselors are educators trained to help develop students in three main areas: academic, personal/social and career development. As an advocate for all students, you will provide comprehensive programs that are preventative in nature, research-based, objective and data driven and developmentally appropriate. This is accomplished through classroom lessons, small groups, and 1:1 brief individual counseling. Additional responsibilities include consulting with parents, families, teachers, administrators and other community agencies to help remove barriers and promote student success. Become a leader in your school and advocate for the profession. Every day as a school counselor provides you a unique, challenging and rewarding career.
