    Counseling Mission Statement
     
    Thornridge High School counselors will provide a comprehensive program that assists students with acquiring skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to become effective students, responsible citizens, and life-long learners. 
     
    A comprehensive developmental school counseling program is an essential part of the total education program in our school and reflects a sequential learning process.  This program is designed to support and influence students to meet or exceed their academic potential, enhance their personal and social growth, and develop an understanding of their post secondary and career options.
