HTS Student Support Team

Vision Statement:

All students are eligible to receive the benefits of a school counseling and guidance program that is developmental in nature, preventive in design, and comprehensive in scope. As an integral part of the total educational program, credentialed school counselors ensure access to services so that every student is challenged and supported to reach his or her highest potential. 

Mission Statement: 
The counselors at Harrison Township School provide a comprehensive and developmental counseling and guidance program that addresses the academic, career and personal/social needs of students at all grade levels. 

School counselors are professional student advocates who provide support to maximize student potential and academic achievement. In partnership with educators, parents and the community, credentialed school counselors facilitate the support system to ensure that all students in the district are prepared academically and socially with the knowledge and skills to contribute at the highest level as productive members of society. 

Individual or Group Counseling: 
Services are available for situational difficulties on topics that include coping skills, family transitions, grief and loss, peer relationships, anger management, academic support, and school transitions. These groups and sessions are held as needed and are designed to meet the development as well as the situational needs of the students. By addressing these areas, the teaching and learning process in the classroom are supported. 

Consultation:
The counselor consults with teachers, parents, administrators and staff members, and also coordinates the internal and external guidance resources of the district.
