Philosophy & Belief Statement
The philosophy of the counseling program at Whitesboro Middle School is based on the belief that each student is a unique individual with specific talents and needs. We believe in promoting respectful relationships based upon human dignity and fostering that concept among students, staff, and parents within our school community. We recognize the importance of supporting the positive growth of each individual in academics, social and emotional issues, and future career planning. The counseling program plays an important role in facilitating and coordinating services to meet these needs.
