Counseling
Welcome to Diegueño's Counseling Department!
We strive to ensure a safe and supportive environment in which all students acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for academic, personal/social and career development. Our hope is that each student develop a love of learning, contribute positively to their school community and become responsible individuals.
Students:
- Who is my school counselor?
Mr. Brown and Mrs. Martin are the counselors here at Diegueño. You will find them in the counseling office in the Administration building.
- A school counselor can help students by...
Providing support and guidance when you have questions/concerns about your academics, or when you need to talk with a trusted adult about personal things that are going on at school or home.
A few examples: "What classes should I take?" "I need help in knowing how to improve my grades," "I'm nervous about talking with my teacher," "My friends and I are arguing and I can't focus in class because of it," "I'm feeling stressed about things going on at home," "I'm worried about my friend, they seem sad"
Parents:
- A school counselor can help parents address:
- Academic achievement concerns
- Personal/social/behavior concerns
