COUNSELOR ROLE  

The Decatur ISD Counseling Department believes that every student is entitled to a safe and supportive learning environment. We will use a proactive comprehensive counseling program to meet the needs of all students, enabling them to achieve success by attaining a social/emotional understanding, problem-solving skills, and developing into a responsible citizen. We, as Professional School Counselors, will continually partner with students, parents, teachers, administrators and community agencies to continually develop a comprehensive counseling program (Texas Counseling Association, 2018).
