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.

"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"
