WELCOME!!
I will be working with students last names A-D during the 2016-17 school year. I am very excited to begin working with each of you! I have been in the education system now for 8 years. I graduated from Nicholls State University in 2008 with a Bachelors in Middle School Education and in 2012 with a Masters in Education. In 2014, I completed a graduate program through Lamar University to receive my Masters +30 in School Counseling. I will be meeting with each student on two occasions to discuss graduation requirements, TOPS requirements, college choices, classroom performance, and career opportunities. As a parent/guardian, if you would like to be a part of these meetings please contact me via email [email protected] or by phone 985-369-2956 ext 2212!
AHS COUNSELING DEPARTMENT MISSION/VISION STATEMENT
The mission of the Assumption High School Counseling Program is to provide each student with the educational guidance, social, and emotional counseling, and career development needed to become confident and self-directed life-long learners, productive citizens, and respectful, responsible members of a diverse community in an ever changing society. This is accomplished by means of data driven delivery services in classroom and small group guidance lessons, individual student planning, responsive services, and system support activities.
Counselor's Philosophy
The professional school counselors at Assumption High School believe that:
· Comprehensive School Counseling Programs
The comprehensive school counseling program is based on the ASCA National Model. According to ASCA (2012) the comprehensive school counseling program is driven by student data and is based on standards in academic, career, and personal/social development, and promotes and enhances the learning process for all students. The program ensures equitable access to opportunities and rigorous curriculum for all students to be able to participate fully in the educational process.
Counselor's Role
Also based on the ASCA National Model (2012) school counselors are required to focus their time, skills, and energy on direct and indirect services to their students. The ASCA National Model requires professional school counselors to participate as members of the educational team and utilize the skills of leadership, advocacy, and collaboration to promote systemic change as appropriate.
