We are still celebrating National School Counseling Week. As we talk about “dreaming big,” how can our school help YOU dream big? Yesterday, we mentioned that our dream is that everyone in our school feels like they belong and that we create a welcoming and inclusive community together. When we build that kind of environment, our school is even more ready to help you discover and work toward your dreams. One of our goals here is to help ensure you’re ready for what comes next –whether that’s college or a career. As you engage in your school work, you’re discovering what gives you joy, what sparks your interest and what your talents are. At our school, we want to ensure you have access to learning and extracurricular opportunities to help you dream your dreams. A new challenge could be the first step to discovering your dreams. If you’re uncomfortable about stepping out of your comfort zone, let’s talk about it. We can help.
