The week of February 5 marked National School Counseling Week, is an annual event celebrating school counselors and drawing attention to the unique impact counselors have in helping students achieve success.
With a national average counselor to student ratio of 1:483 and a California average of 1:760, SJND is fortunate to have a much lower counselor to student ratio, enabling our counselors to offer very individualized counseling services:
“Our personal counseling program is very intentional. We counsel students on challenges they are experiencing that are present for them in the moment. From learning to cope with stress to understanding how digital devices impact their lives, our lessons help SJND teens to become confident, open-minded, and effective leaders on our campus,” explained Lauren Sabia, one of two personal counselors at SJND, along with Director of Counseling John Gunty.
During National School Counseling Week, the SJND Counseling Department hosted various events, including a Health & Wellness workshop for freshmen, in which they took a strengths finder quiz to learn more about relevant careers in those areas.
