Our Mission

The mission of our school counseling program is to provide a comprehensive and developmental program that empowers ALL students in their academic, personal/social, and career exploration endeavors. We are only able to accomplish this through a partnership with our Tabb parents, teachers, staff, and community. We look forward to getting to know you and your family this year. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or if we can be of any assistance.

What can your school counselors do for you?
