Vision Statement
The vision of the Deer Creek–Lamont Comprehensive School Counseling Program is that every student from Pre-K through 12th grade will graduate as a resilient, compassionate, and confident learner, prepared to pursue postsecondary education, careers, or service opportunities. Our students will be lifelong learners and responsible citizens who embrace opportunities within and beyond our rural community while remaining grounded in the values of hard work, character, and community.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Deer Creek–Lamont Comprehensive School Counseling Program is to provide equitable, developmentally appropriate support for every student from Pre-K through 12th grade. Through a combination of direct services—such as classroom lessons, small-group interventions, and individual counseling—and indirect services—such as collaboration with families, teachers, administrators, and community partners—the program equips students with the academic, career, and social-emotional skills necessary for lifelong success.
Grounded in the strengths of our small, rural community, the program uses data-informed practices to close opportunity gaps, foster resilience, and ensure that each student graduates confident, compassionate, and prepared for postsecondary education, careers, or service. By serving as advocates, leaders, and collaborators, DCLA school counselors strive to create a safe and inclusive environment that empowers all students to reach their full potential.
