What Do School Counselors Do?
Parents, the press, administrators and the general public often wonder just what it is that school counselors do on a daily basis. They help all students in the areas of academic achievement, personal/social development and career development, ensuring today's students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow. -American School Counseling Association
