The school counseling program is an integral part of the total North Allegheny educational process. The professional school counselor collaborates with other school professionals in helping students learn. A successful program requires the support and participation of all school personnel, parents, guardians, outside agencies, and the community at large.
Individuals possess within themselves the power to control the quality, growth, and satisfaction in their lives. North Allegheny’s School Counselors are committed to helping students meet their personal, social, educational, and career needs. Through delivering a comprehensive, developmental school counseling program, School Counselors assist students in acquiring the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to become effective students, responsible citizens, productive workers, and lifelong learners. School Counselors use their expertise to provide counseling, instruction, consultation, prevention, and intervention services to support the school’s academic mission, to enhance the learning process and assist students in making informed positive choices fulfilling their personal potential.
The program’s ultimate goal is for all students to graduate with the competencies necessary to make self-directed, realistic, responsible decisions and to be successful contributors to a rapidly changing global society.
