School Counseling

  • The Mission of the John I Leonard High School Counseling Department is to provide comprehensive school counseling services to all students within a positive, supportive environment. Our programs are designed to help all students develop and enhance their academic, social/personal, and career abilities in order to become responsible and productive members of society. The Counseling Program will support all students to maximize their potential and academic achievement in preparation of a changing world. In collaboration with school personnel, families, and community resources, the counseling program will provide every student the opportunity to become productive lifelong learners and problem solvers.

    The John I. Leonard High School Counseling Department believes students will become life-long learners in an environment that is supportive, challenging, and positive. Students will demonstrate respect for others as well as themselves and obtain a greater understanding and appreciation of our world.
