Counseling

VISION

The Sullivan community will support students to master academic standards by giving them the tools to critically think, set goals and achieve at least a 3.0 GPA. The Sullivan community will teach and support students and staff to use social emotional learning competencies (Grad at Grad) and restorative practices necessary to succeed in high school, college, & career. The Sullivan community will support students in developing a post­secondary plan that they are proud of and can implement when they graduate from Sullivan High School.

WE BELIEVE

  • ALL students have the right to equitable education in a safe, respectful and nurturing environment. 
  • We believe that counselors have a duty to provide ALL students with support in academic, social-emotional, and post-secondary domains through data-driven, developmentally appropriate and culturally-relevant interventions.
  • The American School Counselor Association ethical standards should guide the work of school counselors.
