School Counseling Program Mission Statement

The Pritzker Counseling program, in collaboration with all stakeholders, will provide each

environment. The counseling program will work to support students so that they can succeed

providing direct and indirect counseling services, each student will gain confidence in
themselves so that they may thoughtfully engage in their school and community.
