FMS Guidance Program

Mission Statement

The mission of Fayette County’s Comprehensive School Counseling and Guidance Plan is based on the Fayette County School District’s mission.  Its focus is to prepare every student socially, academically, and emotionally for present and future challenges.  

Purpose

The Counseling and Guidance Program is based on individual, school, and community needs and is organized around skill development skills.  The program is delivered through the direct service program components of guidance instruction, individual student planning, and responsive services.  In addition, the program provides indirect services supporting the total education program.  A professionally certified school counselor implements the guidance program with the support of teachers, administrators, students, and parents.

The counseling and guidance program is an integrated part of the total education program and is sequentially designed for the overall school population.  Personal/social, academic, and career development is provided for all students.
