2. School Counseling Department Mission Statement & Philosophy

The mission of the Grove City Area School District School Counseling Department is to equip all learners for successful

futures across academic, career and personal/social domains. The school counseling program is an integral part of the total

Grove City Area School District education process. School counselors will collaborate with other stakeholders in order to help

students develop into well-rounded, successful contributors to a rapidly changing global society.

3. Program Goals

Academic Counseling Goal: The School Counselors will educate students and parents about individual academic

achievement and all post-secondary options.

Career: The School Counselors, along with the Advisory Council, will maintain professional relationships with

businesses and community members in order to provide job shadowing, networking and internship opportunities to

high school students.

Personal/Social: The School Counselors will provide the foundation for personal and social growth as students develop

through school and into adulthood.

4. Stakeholders

A. Students: Students of the Grove City Area School District will receive a guidance curriculum focused on academic, career,

and personal/social skills in order to make informed and responsible decisions that lead to successful futures. Students will

integrate decision-making skills, goal-setting skills, interpersonal skills, and post-secondary goals to achieve this. This

developmental process will follow each student through each stage of growth to adulthood.

Students will serve as mentors to other students relating their experiences across all three domains.

Students will present their experiences to other Grove City Area School District stakeholder groups.

Student will be represented on the school counseling advisory council.

3

B. Parents: Parents have a fundamental role in helping their child reach their full potential. We rely on parents to assist in

teaching their children to behave appropriately and responsibly, and to teach them to make informed decisions about the

future. Parents at the Grove City Area School District can, at any time, access their child’s information in regards to each

individual program in order to help their child reach his or her goals. At each level, parents are informed of the guidance

program and services through announcements and letters sent home. Parents will have the opportunity to sit on the school

counseling advisory council. Representatives will have the opportunity to provide input into the school counseling program

through parent meetings, open house, career, wellness and art fairs.

C. District Educators: District educators will uphold and help to deliver the school counseling program. Educators will

accomplish this through classroom instruction and meetings, participation in building- and district-wide programming,

parent communication, newsletters and other social media outlets. District educators will also collaborate and consult with

school counselors to support student achievement and create an environment that fosters positive growth and development.

District educators will also serve on the school counseling advisory council.

D. Business and Community: Business and community play a vital role in helping students, parents and district educators

accomplish the goals of the school counseling program. Businesses, the community and the district guidance department

will collaborate to create meaningful opportunities for students and partner to provide professional field experiences and

job shadowing opportunities for students. Representatives from businesses and the community will be represented on the

school counseling advisory council.

E. Post-Secondary Partners: Post-secondary partners will work with the District’s counseling department to help in educating

students about post-secondary opportunities. This will be accomplished by classroom presentations by various universities

and colleges, military, and CTCs. Representatives from post-secondary partnerships will participate in the school

counseling advisory council.

F. Outside Agency/Juvenile Justice Support - George Junior Republic

At George Junior Republic, a few other parties have invested interest in the success of students. The counselors will work

together with them as a team to prepare these students for their transition home and successful futures.

4

a. Cottage parents (while not the student's biological parents/legal guardians) care for the students while living in the

cottage on campus at George Junior. In regards to school, they are concerned for the well-being of the child and want to

ensure that he is preparing for his transition home or graduation from high school. The school counseling department will

work directly with the cottage parents to communicate any issues that the student may have. Cottage parents are invited to

participate in open house and Cottage Parent Teacher organization.

b. Social workers play a vital role in the therapeutic treatment of students. Because of this, the school counseling

department will communicate closely with them in regards to the personal and social development of students. Any

concerns or changes will be conveyed to the social workers so that support can be drawn. This team approach ensures the

safety and well-being of our students. Social workers will also help in post-secondary planning. In this regard, the school

counseling department will assist in this planning in any way possible.

c. Probation officers, case workers, and judges are involved in students' progress as well. Because the student has been

relocated during his time at George Junior, his probation officer, case worker, or judge is working for the success of, but at

a distance from, the student. This makes it difficult to work toward that goal, but the school counseling department will

work openly with all parties in any way needed. This includes communication about grades, credits, and school

performance, post-secondary plans, and extracurricular activities.

5. Role of the School Counselor

A. As a Leader:

Works to support the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students.

Promotes access to all educational programs for students.

5

Collaborates with other stakeholders to meet the needs of all students.

C. As a Collaborator:

Uses skills in networking, problem-solving and mediation in the educational community.

Maintains an open communication style to foster effective teaming.

Collaborates with community partners to provide needed resources and services for students.

6. Advisory Council

The Grove City Area School District counseling program needs the involvement of a district advisory council in order to make a

measurable impact on student success. The Advisory Council will be comprised of 8 to 15 people who have a vested interest in the

school counseling program. The Advisory Council will meet twice a year. The Grove City Area School District counseling

program Advisory Council will represent elementary, middle and high school level programs.

The Advisory Council is a link between the school counseling program and the various groups to be served. Representatives of the

Advisory Council will reflect the diversity of the school/community and will include the following five stakeholder groups:

Students

Parents/guardians

Educators/Administrators

Business/Community Members

Postsecondary Representatives

6

The Advisory Council will do the following:

Serve in a leadership role to support the mission and goals of the school- counseling program.

Provide a communication link between the school counseling program and the five stakeholder groups.

Act as a resource and support for the school- counseling program.

Review data and provide feedback on the effectiveness of the school counseling program.

Career and Technical Center Strategy

George Junior Republic Career and Technical Center Strategy

As new students arrive weekly at George Junior, they will be introduced to the Career and Technical Center while in an

orientation classroom. An informational video will be shown which details each CTE track offered, careers related to each

shop, the breakdown of each class experience, and the standards upheld in the building. Then, a tour is given to all students.

Students who are interested (grades 9 and above) may complete a request in their orientation classroom. Students are then

scheduled into classes at the end of the orientation week and will begin their schedule the following week.

Although the average time a student spends with us is nine months, all high school students are encouraged to participate in a

career and technical education course even for a short amount of time in hopes that students may find a potential career path.

District: Grove City Area

Annually in January, all 8th grade students from the Grove City Area Middle School attend a field trip to the Mercer County Career

Center. Students participate in the site visitation, experience and tour every program offered at the Career Center. Every year in

August at the Freshmen Academy, ninth grade students are informed of the opportunity to attend the Career Center. In October, all

ninth and tenth grade students are given a presentation by a representative from the Mercer County Career Center. Also in November,

all ninth grade students have an opportunity to tour the Career Center.

Annually in February, Career Center applications are completed by prospective students and in April letters are sent to parents of

students who have been accepted or denied. Prior to that, the school counselor communicates with all students who have applied.

Guidance is given to those students who have been denied to enhance the possibility of being accepted if they reapply the following

year.

For the 2015-2016 school year, 47 students attended the Mercer County Career Center. Of those 47 students, 16 were seniors and 7

graduated. Currently for the 2016-2017 school year, 32 students are enrolled at the Mercer County Career Center.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Grove City Area School District School Counseling Department is to equip all learners for successful

futures across academic, career and personal/social domains. The school counseling program is an integral part of the total

Grove City Area School District education process. School counselors will collaborate with other stakeholders in order to help

students develop into well-rounded, successful contributors to a rapidly changing global society. We believe the following:

Every student can achieve success

Every student utilizes unique learning styles

Every student possesses positive developmental assets

71
