- All students can be taught appropriate behaviors, can learn, and can grow to reach their full potential if given the right environment
- All students learn best when they feel good about themselves and their relationships with others
- All students should have equal access to counseling & guidance services
- School counselors are a resource and an advocate for all students, staff, parents, and the community
- Positive relationships between students and adults are the key to student success
