    The Western Guilford Middle School Counseling Department agrees…

    In the ability of all students to be successful regardless of background, limitations, capabilities, and/or setbacks.

    That the role of a school counselor is to be an advocate for the needs of all students based on their academic and/or developmental needs.

    As a school counselor, we will be a voice for those students who need support, resources, and assistance in and out of the classroom.

    All team members, including administrators, school counselors, teachers, staff, community leaders, and family members must actively be involved in the planning, managing, delivery, and evaluation of program activities designed to meet the needs of our students.

    Valid data must be analyzed on an on-going basis to properly assist with making informed program decisions that will best meet the needs of all students.

    All decisions must be driven by the ASCA ethical standards which all school counselors use as a daily guide in their profession.
