Mission Statement:

Our mission in the Kettle Run Counseling Department is to provide a comprehensive school counseling program that meets the needs of all students in the areas of academic, personal/social, and career preparation/college planning.  We encourage students to be a part of the school community and challenge them to take rigorous classes that will assist in preparing them for life after high school.  Our mission is to provide them with the skills and support necessary to become lifelong learners and productive citizens in a global society. We provide a safe environment and serve as advocates for students of all backgrounds while fostering supportive relationships with parents, faculty, and community members.

Vision Statement:

Our students are a part of an ever-growing society where diversity and multiculturalism are at the forefront.  We work hard to ensure that all students become culturally aware and value the society we live in.  We hope to build students up by advocating for them so they will advocate for themselves in the future.  Our vision is that all students will leave us with a strong character and a high motivation to be successful.
