Mission Statement

The purpose of the Hollywood Hills High School Counseling Department is to provide a program designed to facilitate the educational and social/emotional needs of students so that they may reach their full potential.  This approach focuses on the prevention of problems by providing all students with appropriate age skills and guidance information.

School Counselors strive to meet the developmental needs of all students and respond to the special cultural and social needs and interests of individual students.  Counseling students, consulting with staff, parents and community members and integrating the school's guidance program into the instructional program are among the primary responsibilities of the school counselor.  School Counselors do not make decisions for students, but help them and their parents acquire facts and ideas to make decisions. 

The School Counseling program ensures that the skills of the school counselor are used to optimal advantage.  The School Counseling program works in conjunction with other school personnel, programs and community resources.  Parents are kept informed of programs and are encouraged to participate in the development of students.
