Wisconsin Comprehensive School Counseling Model
The goal of the school counseling program is to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in school and beyond. This is done by putting in place prevention measures to teach students skills in three domains: personal/social, academic, and career. School Counselors are always asking students to answer three essential questions: Who am I? Where am I going? How will I get there? Students are encouraged to use the answers to these questions to guide their decision making. While school counseling is a K-12 continuum, there are some differences between the levels.

High School Counseling
Counseling services at the high school level include work with students’ Academic and Career Plans that will involve a Falcon Talk conference that parents will be invited to in the 11th grade. Heavy emphasis is placed on college and career readiness (the career domain of the Wisconsin Comprehensive School Counseling Model). Students are also seen individually and in groups on an as needed basis to help them be successful in school.
Social emotional lessons are taught weekly by the high school staff to help students learn to navigate their world as they become adults.
