School Counseling

School Counseling is an essential part of the instructional program, assisting students in building a foundation for their learning and success.  WPS offers a comprehensive K-12 school counseling program that is an integral part of each school’s total educational program designed to promote the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students.

Academic counseling assists students and their parents to acquire knowledge of the curriculum choices available to students, to plan a program of studies, to arrange and interpret academic testing, and to seek post-secondary academic opportunities.

Career counseling helps students to acquire information and plan action about work, jobs, apprenticeships, and post-secondary educational and career opportunities. Click here for more information on Postsecondary Opportunities for High School Students.

Personal/Social Counseling assists a student develop an understanding of themselves, the rights and needs of others, how to resolve conflict, and to define individual goals which reflect their interests, abilities, and aptitudes.
