The Role of a School Counselor

School counselors work with ALL students in three domains: Academic, Career, and Social-Emotional.
 
Support Students
 
During the school year, the school counselor teaches lessons to all students in the classroom, holds small group counseling, as well as provides individual counseling on an as needed basis. 
 
School counselors serve as leaders in the school, advocating for student success, systemic change, and collaborating with teachers, administration, families, and other district colleagues.
