We strive to provide a solid foundation of guidance in the areas of Guidance Curriculum, Individual Student Planning, Responsive Services, and System Support.  

We also model the Missouri School Counselor Standards as outlined by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.  

Standard #1 - Student Development: The school counselor utilizes his/her skills and knowledge of student development and behavior to promote the mental health and well-being of all students by facilitating their academic, personal/social, and career development.

Standard #2 - Program Implementation: The school counselor collaborates with school and community members to plan, design, implement, evaluate, and enhance the school and district-wide comprehensive school counseling program to advance the academic, personal/social, and career development of all students.

Standard #3 - Professional Relationships: The school counselor develops collaborative professional relationships throughout the school and community which support the comprehensive school counseling program as well as the overall mission and improvement plans of the school and district.

Standard #4 - Leadership and Advocacy:  The school counselor serves as a change agent, demonstrating leadership, vision, collaboration and advocacy for the on-going development of self, students, the comprehensive school counseling program and the school.

Standard #5- Ethical and Professional Conduct: The school counselor knows, understands and adheres to current ethical and professional standards and legal requirements.
