Guidance

Guidance Counselor – Angelo Pederzolli

Philosophy of Guidance

We believe that each student in our school is a unique individual and is capable of significant growth and development. We assist the child in this growth and development, in cooperation with the parents, by our educational programs developing the spiritual, intellectual, moral, social, cultural, and physical aspects of each student. We believe in the integrity, worth, and dignity of each child, in his/her uniqueness and individuality; we strive to plan and execute those educational programs which will develop in each child an appreciation of himself/herself and others.

We endeavor to nurture attitudes, concepts, skills, and talents that will help in developing self-discipline, accepting responsibility for the direction of his or her life, striving to attain a meaningful role in the world and becoming part of society’s mainstream. The effectiveness of this philosophy depends upon the cooperative efforts of the administrators, the classroom teachers, parents, and other pupil personnel workers.
