School Counseling

  • School Counselors in West Linn-Wilsonville support the work of creating learning communities for the greatest thinkers and the most thoughtful people...for the world.  Every school in our district has a least one tremendous professional taking on this vital role in helping all students move toward unprecedented results.  

     
    There are many different ways that School Counselors support students, including:
    • Academic development: School counselors help students obtain and maintain the attitudes, knowledge and skills needed for academic success in the present and for the future.
    • Career development: School counselors help students understand their personal skills and talents in ways that allow them to acquire skills for exploring the world of work and for making informed career decisions.
    • Personal/social development: School counselors engage students in activities to promote positive interpersonal knowledge, attitudes and skills. These assets are central to helping students make healthy decisions, set reasonable personal goals, cope with difficult and stressful situations and consider their personal safety inside and outside the school setting.

    Our school counselors play a key role in the education of all students. They are consistently positive, encouraging and supportive of students, teachers and school administration.
