Counseling

The Whitehouse ISD Counseling Program is dedicated to supporting the academic, personal, social, and emotional development of all students. Through a comprehensive and student-centered approach, we empower students to overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve their fullest potential. We collaborate with educators, families, and the community to provide guidance, advocacy, and resources that promote lifelong success and well-being.


Guidance Curriculum Focus

  • Intrapersonal Effectiveness (i.e., positive student self-concept, appropriate behavior to the situation and environment)
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness (i.e., appropriate and effective communication skills, effective conflict resolution skills, development of healthy relationships)
  • Post-secondary Planning and Career Readiness (i.e.,  motivation to succeed in personal endeavors, demonstration of career exploration skills, awareness of the importance of postsecondary education, understanding of the relationship of academics to the world of work and life at home in the community)
  • Personal Health and Safety (i.e., incorporation of wellness practices into daily living, demonstration of resiliency and positive coping skills, possession of assertiveness skills necessary for personal protection)
