Philosophy

Counseling is the art of helping people help themselves. We believe that an effective school counseling program is one that: serves all students, is preventative in nature, has active staff involvement, provides crisis intervention, and offers short-term counseling.

Vision Statement

The SHS/BTC school counselors see and believe in each individual student’s ability to reach their utmost potential. We communicate this belief to students through our unconditional acceptance, compassion, caring, and commitment to support each student during the course of their high school years (and sometimes beyond). This support will be unwavering, regardless of a student’s socio-economic background, sexual orientation, family circumstances, failures or successes, individual challenges or conflicts, health issues or crises.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Spaulding High School and Barre Technical Center Campus School Counseling program is to provide a comprehensive, developmental program designed to be an integral part of the school addressing the academic, emotional and social needs of our students.

School Counselors are devoted to the promotion of well-being for all students and the encouragement of all students to be life-long learners.
