GUIDANCE & COUNSELING
MISSION STATEMENT
The Birmingham Counseling Program’s “whole-child” approach is an integral part of the educational
mission of the Birmingham Public Schools. The comprehensive guidance program will empower
students to make responsible academic/personal-social, and college/career choices to gain selfknowledge and understand the uniqueness of others. Counselors will provide opportunities for
academic achievement, personal/social growth, and college/career exploration for every student.
Counselors will coordinate, consult, and collaborate with staff, parents, and the community to help all
students be suc-cessful lifelong learners in a global society.
COUNSELING STAFF
Counselors work to build a relationship with each student. We view this relationship as a partnership.
We recognize the importance of self-advocacy and the roles counselors play are critical in helping
develop students.
