Carter Lomax Counseling Department
The Carter Lomax counselors
collaborate with school staff, parents and the larger community to create a
caring, supportive climate and atmosphere whereby young adolescents can achieve
academic success. The goal of the program is to promote academic achievement by
enhancing the learning process through a comprehensive developmental school
counseling program that addresses social/emotional factors related to learning.
School counseling programs are key to
the achievement of optimal personal growth, acquisition of positive social
skills and values, development of career goals and the realization of a
student’s full academic potential to become a productive, contributing member
of the school community and larger society.
