Guidance & Counseling Services

  • The Counseling Services Department is an integral part of the total educational program. It provides a systematic, planned approach for helping all students acquire and apply basic life skills and makes optimal use of the special knowledge and skills of school counselors.

    The foundation of the counseling program is to provide developmentally appropriate assistance for all students, and at the same time provide special assistance to those who need it.

    To fulfill the basic mission of the counseling program, we follow The Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs.  Program balance is established to guide the allocation of resources to each of the four following delivery systems:

    • Guidance Curriculum
    • Responsive Services
    • Individual Student Planning
    • System Support

  • Education both enriches our lives and empowers us with the knowledge and skills we need to succeed. Professional school counselors play a critical role in maximizing educational opportunities.

    In elementary and secondary schools, professional school counselors collaborate with parents, teachers, and others to:

    • prevent and eliminate barriers to learning
    • help equip students with the personal and social skills they need to lead healthy, successful lives.
    • assist students in exploring and pursuing academic and career opportunities

    Throughout our lives, we encounter many challenges. 

    • Conflicts in relationships.
    • Life transitions.
    • Emotional crises.
    • Educational and career decisions.
    • Physical illness and disability.

    Sometimes the challenges are exciting. 
    Sometimes they're frightening.
    Sometimes we can benefit from help and support as we strive to master these challenges. 

    Professional school counselors have specialized training and are committed to providing the help and support we may need to master the challenges of life.

    Working in a diverse range of settings and with a variety of areas of specialized expertise, professional counselors work with people of all ages, races, cultural backgrounds, and circumstances to help them maximize their potential, make positive changes in their lives, and achieve their goals.

Talking openly about suicidal thoughts and feelings can save a life. National and local mental health services, listed below, offer telephone, chat, text and other resources for people who are at risk of suicide. Contact your local mental health authority or call 2-1-1 and ask for the LMHA in your area.

A red stamp with the words 'Handle With Care' is shown on a white background with text about informing school staff about a child's needs.

The Handle with Care Program is dedicated to fostering a supportive and compassionate school environment by ensuring that staff are informed of and responsive to the unique challenges faced by students due to external circumstances. Our mission is to promote open communication between parents and school staff, allowing for the mindful and empathetic handling of each child’s needs. Through this initiative, we aim to create a nurturing atmosphere where every student feels understood, valued, and supported, empowering them to thrive both academically and emotionally.
