    Mission, Vision, & Philosophy

    The mission of the East Allegheny Professional School Counselors is to inspire all students to develop their individual potential to become life-long learners who are college and career ready citizens in our diverse and changing world.  Our mission is to provide a comprehensive developmental counseling program for all students K-12.  Professional School Counselors provide equitable access to maximize academic achievement, to foster social and emotional growth, and to facilitate career development in partnership with parents, guardians, and all other members of the school community.  We are key stakeholders in a collaborative effort to provide a safe and supportive environment academically, physically, and emotionally.  Advocacy, leadership, collaboration, and systemic change are the framework of the East Allegheny School Counseling Program.


    The school counselors at East Allegheny School District believe:

    • all students should have equal access to a rigorous curriculum to prepare them for life outside of the classroom

    • data should be used to drive developmental programs and activities

    • all students deserve a counselor who will advocate, support and protect our students’ best interests against any interference with their educational program

    • students’ potential should be maximized by addressing their academic, career, and social/emotional needs

    • all students have the right to form positive, supportive relationships with a caring adult at their school
