Mission Statement

The mission of the Potomac Senior High School Counseling Department is to provide access to a comprehensive and equitable counseling program to all students and the school community. School Counselors will empower all students to obtain acquired skills and knowledge to be successful not only within the classroom setting but beyond the walls of the school. School counselors will encourage students to self-advocate, learn conflict resolution skills, and to be positive contributing community members. The ultimate goal is for students to matriculate with the personal, social, educational, and career skills necessary for success in an ever-changing society.
