We look forward to serving you this school year. 

The Mission of the Woodrow Wilson Counseling Department is to provide a comprehensive, developmental counseling program that empowers all students to excel in academics, career, emotional and social aspirations, and to reach their potential growth and success.

Our vision is for all students to experience the academic success that propels them towards graduation and the choice for college and/or the workforce.
