Services
Issaquah schools provide comprehensive guidance and school counseling services in each building.
All students have access to and the right to participate in these programs, which focus on academic, career, and social/emotional development to enhance the learning process, provide access to education, and support student readiness and success.
Our school counseling teams plan and implement their programs with consideration for student, family, school, and community members, and can help to connect students and families to resources and support in our schools and community. Our ultimate goal is to help students obtain the knowledge, skills and attitudes that lead to academic, career, and personal success.
