Philosophy

 

The Coventry High School Guidance Department facilitates student development in three broad areas:

Academic Development

Career Development

Personal/Social Development

The comprehensive guidance model emphasizes commitment to designing, planning, implementing, and evaluating a program that has a clearly defined mission. Our school counseling organization allows us to deliver our program through curriculum, individual planning, responsive services, and system support.

We believe that all students possess intrinsic worth and are capable of personal growth and self-direction. The CHS counselors have a responsibility to promote the student's identification and development of his/her skills, talents, and interests in order for him/her to make choices in a world that presents conflicting challenges.

Our mission is to create an environment that meets the academic, social, emotional, creative, and physical needs of all individuals so they can learn, continuously improve, and meet the challenges of an ever-changing society.

We are a learning community of students, teachers, staff, parents, and volunteers devoted to helping and inspiring every student to realize his or her full potential by providing a variety of learning experiences in a safe, supportive, challenging, and mutually respectful environment.
