Students' unique developmental, intellectual, physical, social, emotional, ethnic, racial, and cultural needs are thoughtfully considered and met through planning and implementing a comprehensive, preventative, and proactive school counseling program.
All students are able to achieve academic success with the proper support and prevention services.
All students deserve the opportunity to learn in a mutually respectful environment.

Student success is enhanced when the professional school counseling program is integrated into the school curriculum.

A counselor should participate in professional learning opportunities and supervision as necessary to maintain a quality school counseling program.
