Our Role
The role of the School Counselor at Saint John's is to advocate for students, counsel, consult, coordinate, and collaborate with students, parents, and school staff to support academic achievement and help students prepare for future endeavors in academic, career, and personal and social areas.
School Counselors are available for individual counseling sessions as necessary. After each interim and quarterly report, students in scholastic difficulty are seen as soon as possible to address the areas of concern. When personal or family issues seriously interfere with academic progress, school counselors will evaluate the situation and attempt to support the student accordingly. In some cases, a referral to off-campus professional counseling will be made.
The Counseling Office works in close cooperation with the Campus Ministry Department regarding matters of student safety and support. The Campus Ministers are readily available for pastoral counseling. School Counselors also collaborate closely with the Assistant Principals for Academics and the Assistant Principal for Student Life when necessary.
