Mission
The Friendly Hills School Counseling Program provides developmentally appropriate and data-driven interventions aimed to support students’ academic, social-emotional, and career goals.
Vision
The School Counseling Program uses individual, small group, and classroom lessons to support students in maximizing individual potential. Through collaboration with school staff, families, and community resources, we strive to provide equitable opportunities and a sense of belonging for all students. The program’s goal is to foster a community where students gain the necessary skills to thrive in a diverse, global society.
