First and foremost, our secondary School Counselors’ work is with students in setting academic and career goals so that they may grow and reach their full potential in, and beyond, the larger Tiger Community. While this work often means coordinating and collaborating with other staff and administration, we will always prioritize what our students need. Our goals include:
Academics
Students will acquire the attitudes, knowledge, and skills that contribute to effective learning in school across their lifespan. Students will complete school with the academic preparation essential to choose from a wide range of substantial postsecondary options, including college. Students will understand the relationship of academics to the world of work, and to life at home and in the community.
Career and Life
Students will acquire the skills to investigate the world of work in relation to knowledge of self and to make informed career decisions. Students will employ strategies to achieve future career goals with success and satisfaction. Students will understand the relationship between personal qualities, education, training, and the world of work.
The Whole Child
Students will acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and interpersonal skills to help them understand and respect themselves and others. Students will make decisions, set goals, and take necessary action to achieve goals. Students will understand safety and survival skills.
