ASCA Logo

  • Our structure follows the American School Counselor Association National Model.

    Vision Statement:

    We envision Vaughn students as open-minded and reflective thinkers who are ready for the local and global opportunities of post-secondary training/education, employment, career, and community.

    Mission Statement:

    We provide a comprehensive school counseling program that promotes and enhances our students' academic, career, and social-emotional development.  Working with families, staff, and community members, school counselors advocate for equity, access, and success for all students.

    Confidentiality:

    Professional School Counselors keep information confidential unless disclosure is required to prevent clear and imminent danger to the student or others or when legal requirements demand that confidential information be revealed. (ASCA, A.2, Ethical Standards)

    Regarding Referals:

    Referals to resources beyond the school district are being provided as a convenience and for informational purposes only; they do not constitute an endorsement or an approval by the Washoe County School District of any of the products, services or opinions of the corporation or organization or individual.
