We will advocate for all students to ensure equal access to educational programs and resources while working to reduce/eliminate barriers that impede students from reaching their potential.
Parents and guardians are requested to email their student’s counselor to setup an appointment for any of the following:
• Discuss their student’s academic progress
• College and career planning
• Social/Emotional/Mental concerns

Mission
We are committed to providing a comprehensive program to assist students in acquiring and utilizing lifelong learning and coping skills in order to be pro-active leaders in our society and achieve academic, college/career, and personal/social success.
Vision
We strive to serve as advocates for students, allies with teachers, and liaisons with parents. We will work to enhance the overall school climate through the facilitation of a character-driven, collaborative environment in which effective learning and restorative justice can take place.
In an effort to combat some of the stresses and worries surrounding this time of change, the Character Strong organization is sharing 30 Days of Kindness challenge. These are practical kindness exercises for yourself and others to illicit more positivity, connection, and resilience. All of these exercises can be done at home and will usually only take about 10 minutes or less.
