School Counseling Services
We support professional school counselors as they guide all students to academic and career success.
In partnership with the RPS school community, the counseling program ensures access to an academically challenging environment where students will realize and meet their potential.
Program Overview
The school counselors of Richmond Public Schools believe that:
- Each student has dignity and worth, regardless of their individual differences.
-
Each student’s differences and special needs are considered in the planning, implementation, and delivery of the comprehensive school counseling program.
-
All students have the ability to meet their academic potential and become career and/or college ready by graduation.
-
School counselors must be collaborators with and advocates for the students and families that they serve, helping to ensure access to an academically challenging learning environment that inspires and engages all students.
-
Student achievement is enhanced by participation in a comprehensive school counseling program.
-
All students have access to a (full-time, state certified, Master’s degree level) professional school counselor.
-
Data is necessary to continually evaluate and implement the most successful and appropriate interventions for the students in our schools.
-
Adherence to the ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors allows staff to make decisions based on best school counseling practices.
