What does a Counselor Do?

School Counselor are committed to helping students explore their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents as they relate to career awareness and development.

School Counselors help parents focus on ways to further the educational, personal, and social growth of their children.

School Counselors works very closely with teachers and other educators to help students explore their potential and set realistic goals for themselves.

School Counselors help identify and work with community resources to help students and their families.

Lastly, a school counselor does not discipline children at all, but tries to problem solve with the students to come up with a solution to the problem.

That is just some things of what a school counselor does.
