Counseling Services

We aim to:

  • Create programs and supports to assist students with removing social, emotional, and economic barriers that are impeding student achievement
  • Empower every student to design a comprehensive plan for their future by providing college, career, and military readiness exposure and advisement for grades K through 12
  • Teach students essential life skills through social-emotional learning (SEL) lessons, kindness initiatives, and self-accountability campaigns so students will be able to utilize these skills and lead by example in every facet of their lives 
  • Counseling Services is comprised of dedicated school counselors, school social workers, and college access center staff who are ready to serve the students, staff, and families in GPISD.
