Counselor Information

Denfeld School Counseling Mission Statement:  

To ensure all students are able to reach their fullest potential and achieve success in the areas of academics, personal, social, college and career readiness.

School counselors collaborate with students, families, community members and school personnel to assure that all students realize and integrate their academic, career and personal/social potential in order to develop and achieve an individualized vision of success.

• Collaborate - school counselors collaborate with students, families, school staff and community partners to help schools achieve their mission and students reach their goals.
• Academic support – school counselors help students with topics such as academic organization, course planning, study skills and post-secondary preparation.
• College and career planning – school counselors help students identify possible career paths through interest inventories, personality type assessments and learning style tests. Counselors help students understand the connections between their academic learning, post-secondary education and training, and their career goals.
• Personal/social support – school counselors help students with issues such as bully prevention, anger management, problem solving and cooperation. Counselors work with families to find students additional support if needed.
