The Rochester City School District's Department of School Counseling serves students in grades K-12. School counselors work with all students, families, and members of the community as an integral part of the educational program. School counseling programs promote school success through a focus on academic achievement, prevention and intervention activities, advocacy, and social/emotional and career development. School counselors work to promote student success by closing existing achievement gaps and providing access to a demanding academic program for each student. School counselors ensure that every student benefits directly from the comprehensive school counseling program.

It is our vision that every student will acquire the academic and social-emotional skills, post-secondary preparation and career exploration to reach their fullest educational potential.
