Clay County School Counselors are advocates of student learning and growth.  Their comprehensive school counseling programs are dedicated to enriching student achievement through academic, emotional, (PBIS) positive behavioral, resiliency, and college and career readiness support.

Clay County students will be empowered to develop resiliency and interpersonal skills with the ability to problem solve, self advocate, and overcome adversity to achieve their postsecondary goals and make positive contributions to the world around them. 

Our mission as School Counselors is to implement a comprehensive school counseling program centered on building awareness resources and opportunities and resilience skills while modeling positive behaviors, fostering a culture of positivity and making meaningful connections to empower every student's journey towards success.

Historically, the term “guidance counselor” was used to refer to counselors working in the schools. The primary role of a guidance counselor was to provide vocational assessments and guidance for students. Their services were considered an optional resource for students. In 2013, Florida Legislation CS/CS/HB 801 officially changed the title from guidance counselor to “Certified School Counselor.”  A School Counselor ensures that school and student data is used to provide comprehensive services for all students through the use of core curriculum, responsive intervention services and access to community resources.
