Student Counseling
Counseling is a school service which we take great pride in. We have multiple counselors for various need. We also have a special needs counselor (SEN) to help propel the student’s academic progress. They not only have specialized knowledge in supporting students as they navigate the academic program, they also have training in establishing safe learning environments, monitoring and responding to behavior to improve school climate, and creating relationships between students, teachers and parents that promote greater interpersonal connections.
No longer are school counselors consider a resource for identified students – all students deserve and have the right to the fundamental resources and services provided by school counselors. Students may contact any of our counselors or supervisors at any time regarding any concerns. Parents are informed of any issues and welcomed to share their concerns. We work together for solutions. School counselors are uniquely trained as educators and mental health service providers and as such are often the first point of contact for students and their families.

The growing challenge to meet the demands tomorrow may be there, but our AKAIS counselors are well equipped to handle all.
