Forest Hills School District provides a comprehensive school counseling program based on the American School Counselor Association. The program focuses on mindsets and behaviors for student success.
Mission Statement
The Forest Hills Local School District provides a comprehensive K-12 school counseling program that prepares and inspires all students to achieve high standards of excellence in a constantly changing world. As school counselors, we work to ensure that all students feel safe, respected, and supported in their learning environment. The school counseling program delivers intentional interventions that are evidence-based and data-driven. Preventative programs paired with these interventions help remove academic, career, and social/emotional barriers allowing all students to achieve personal success every day.
