The mission of Douglas Anderson’s school counseling program is to support all students through a comprehensive and developmental approach by addressing the academic, career, and personal/social skills necessary to achieve quality learning and lifelong success. This is accomplished through the counselors’ delivery of school counseling and counseling activities as well as through a collaborative effort between the home, school, and community to further Douglas Anderson as the leading public arts high school in the nation.
