D11 school counselors help create welcoming, academically rigorous environments while coordinating focused and individualized support. This schoolwide approach helps students feel connected, strengthen essential skills, and become future ready.

In partnership with staff, families, and the community, counselors promote learning across academic, career, and social-emotional domains through individual planning, counseling curriculum, responsive services, and system support.

Need Immediate Help?

School counselors support students during the school day, but they are not a 24-hour crisis service. Call or text 988 for free, confidential crisis support. Call 911 when there is an immediate danger or medical emergency.
If school is in session, notify a trusted staff member or school administrator immediately.
