School Counseling Services » Overview

Overview

Our Counseling Department provides numerous services for our students and their families. Based on the national standards set forth by the American School Counselor Association's national model and the Pennsylvania Career Standards, school counselors provide services to all students under the domains of personal/social, academic, and career. Classroom, small group, and individual interventions are the venue through which all students are provided opportunities to grow in each domain.
