High school counselors are full of growth, promise, excitement, frustration, disappointment and hope.  It is the time when students begin to discover what the future holds for them. 
Secondary school counselors enhance the learning process and promote academic achievement.  School counseling programs are essential for students to achieve optimal personal growth, acquire positive social skills and values, set appropriate career goals and realize full academic potential to become productive, contributing members of the world community.
The professional high school counselor holds a master's degree and required state certification in school counseling.  Maintaining certification includes on-going professional development to stay current with educational reform and challenges facing today's students.
Professional association membership is encouraged as it enhances the school counselor's knowledge and effectiveness.
