School Counseling Program Mission Statement
The mission of the Kenwood Academy Counseling Department is to create and foster an
environment that engages all students academically and supports their personal/social well
being through the development of lifelong strategies that act as the catalyst for them to become
contributing members of society and that sets them up for success in post-secondary endeavors.
School Counseling Program Goals
The school counseling program will focus on the following achievement,
attendance, behavior and/or school safety goals this year. Details of activities
promoting these goals are found in the curriculum, small group and closing-thegap action plans.
Program Goal Statements
1

By providing classroom lessons on self-reflection and post-secondary preparation to

all freshmen student, our goal is for 80% of freshmen to have a draft personal
statement on file with their respective advisors and counselors by the end of AY201516.

By using the no place for bullies lesson plan, we hope that all freshman students
who participated in the lesson will have suggested guidelines and methods to prevent
bullying in their school community. Bullying and related behaviors at Kenwood
Academy will show a decrease of 5% from the previous school year.

By teaching students healthy time management and study skills, we expect that
Freshman finals scores will be an average of 5% higher overall than the previous
freshman class fall finals scores.
