Department Mission Statement
The Archbishop Curley High School counselors believe:
• All students can learn and should be given the opportunity to do so.
• All students have dignity and worth and have a right to a safe and mutually respectful learning environment.
• Learning involves the education of the whole person and is a continuous life long process.
• All students have a right to participate in the school counseling program.
• Diversity is to be respected and appreciated as we foster unity among our students, faculty and staff.
The school counseling program should:
• Be student-centered.
• Include education that extends beyond the classroom environment and allows students to develop life long skills that can assist them in the pursuit of their life goals.
• Consider all students’ ethnic, cultural, racial, spiritual, and special needs when planning and implementing the school counseling program.
School counselors will:
• Act in the best interest of the student and advocate for students when appropriate.
• Adhere to ethical standards as outlined in the ACA Code of Ethics.
• Participate in professional development in order to maintain a high standard of student services.
