Beliefs, Philosophy, & Mission Statement

Vision Statement

Counseling services are centered in a belief that at the core of being a student is an individual growing through their experiences. The counseling program celebrates each person's uniqueness and supports students as they grow personally, socially, and in their own understanding of who they are. This growth process is supported through instruction in problem-solving, increasing awareness of self, and fostering an ability to plan for their future.

Mission Statement

The mission of the counselors at Fred Lynn Middle School is to provide high quality, comprehensive school counseling services to all students. Under the framework of the ASCA National Model, our counseling program is in place to help all students develop career pathways, achieve academically, and grow their own personal and social efficacy. The program exists to help students become world citizens capable of pursuing their own happiness and success, while being responsible members of the greater society. Through the delivery of focused educational experiences and interventions counselors build personal capabilities, reduce gaps in achievement among student groups, and foster the student's ability to make positive decisions.
