DEFINITION: Provide school counseling to further the goals of academic achievement, vocational direction, and personal-social development. The counselor contributes to the achievement of these goals in ways that are appropriate and unique to him/her because of his/her position and special training.

Refers students and parents, through the appropriate channels, to either outside agencies or specialized services within the school system.

Writes letters of recommendation as requested by the student to other institutions or to prospective employers.
