Guidance & Counseling

  • The mission of the Guidance / Counseling/ College Readiness Department is to implement a comprehensive developmental guidance and counseling program in grades PreK-12 that promotes student success through a focus on academic achievement, prevention and intervention activities, advocacy and social/emotional and career development to meet the needs of the students.

    The comprehensive developmental guidance and counseling program model is embedded into the Hays CISD academic curriculum and covers these strands:

    • Self-knowledge and acceptance
    • Interpersonal and communication skills
    • Responsible behavior
    • Conflict resolution
    • Decision making/problem solving
    • Motivation to achieve
    • Goal setting
    • Career planning

  • We encourage you to make an appointment with your student's counselor to view the guidance curriculum and discuss what you can do together to create the most successful educational experience possible.
