Mission Statement

The school counseling program's primary goal is to assist all students in reaching their academic potential by removing barriers to learning and preventatively assisting students in acquiring life success skills.

As an integral component in the education system, school counselors provide a developmental, comprehensive and continuous program of services from pre-kindergarten through high school targeting the academic, career and personal / social development of all students.  Counseling, consultation, coordination, collaboration, guidance curriculum, and program evaluation are the main delivery methods in a successful school counseling program. School counseling achieves maximum effectiveness through the support and collaboration of parents, teachers, administrators, and community members.

The Harford County Public School Counselor Program:

  • Integrates the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) National Model for School Counseling Pre-K through 12.
  • Adheres to Ethical code developed by the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) and  American Counseling Association (ACA).
  • Uses data to drive the program to determine that critical school needs are met.
  • Incorporates the Harford County Public School Master Plan, the Annotated Code of Maryland, and the local School Improvement Plan, to develop a plan of implementation for services.
