Sheyenne High School Counselors Believe:

• All learners, regardless of race, gender, or socio-economic status, have the ability and the right to a fair and equal education to prepare them for tomorrow’s world.
• Learners must have all their basic needs met according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and feel safe and nurtured in their learning environment.
• Counselors must assess learners’ needs through an annual school-wide needs assessment, district survey data, learner academic data and collaboration with educators to educate and support the whole-learner.
• Collected data through needs assessment and district survey tools are used to determine at risk-populations and post-secondary goals.  Comprehensive School Counseling programming is fluid from year to year based on the needs of our learners.
• Counselors advocate for learners by educating, providing, and guiding them through their personal/social, career and academic development.
