School Counseling Advisory Council

In order for our School Counseling Program to be comprehensive in nature, it is required that we incorporate a School Counseling Advisory Council to provide support, offer advice, review present activities, and encourage new activities to meet the goals of our school counseling program.

I will be asking various teachers, administrators, parents, students, and community stakeholders to become a part of our School Counseling Advisory Council in the very near future.

Thank You!I look forward to working with you as we
