Guidance and Counseling Program and Mission

The guidance and college-counseling program is an essential part of the total educational process at Marin Catholic. The counselors are committed to the education of the whole person. We work to enhance the personal, social, spiritual, educational, and career growth of each student. We recognize students need a developmental approach to learning and life skill experiences. Therefore, we view school counseling as developmental in nature, building upon previously learned skills.

The program’s mission is to provide academic and personal support services that will assist each student to develop the highest degree of personal responsibility and growth. Emphasis is placed on academic preparation and course scheduling; decision-making; social development; and especially on the college search, selection, and application process.

Therapeutic Counselor

The Therapeutic Counselor provides educational programs and events for students and parents in the areas of drug/alcohol use and abuse, family communication, short-term therapeutic counseling, and other areas that pertain to adolescent health and wellness.
