What does advising look like?

At every age level, school counselors are available to help students succeed in their academic careers and beyond. School counselors play different roles at each educational level:

  • Elementary: Focus on creating awareness and helping create a solid academic and social foundation.
  • Middle: Create opportunities to explore knowledge and skills for future planning and goals.
  • High school: Give access to college and career pathways that allow students to choose from a variety of future life options and goals.
