DGS School Counseling Program

The school counseling program is a four-year comprehensive program that works to provide the best possible support for students. It is proactive, part of the school culture and involves the student, parents, and teachers, either individually or in groups. It is developmental, in that it addresses a student and parent's unique needs during his or her particular year in school.
