Counselors

Why Elementary School Counselors? 

The elementary school years are crucial for fostering the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that enable children to become healthy, capable, and confident learners. In a comprehensive developmental counseling program, counselors collaborate with school staff, parents, and the community to cultivate a supportive and nurturing environment. Through education, prevention, and early identification and intervention, school counselors play a vital role in helping all children achieve academic success. 

Elementary school counselors possess a master’s degree and the necessary state certification in school counseling. To maintain their certification, they engage in ongoing professional development to stay informed about educational reforms and the challenges faced by today’s students. Membership in professional associations further enhances their knowledge and effectiveness.
