School Counseling Services
The Beaufort County School District provides a comprehensive developmental guidance and counseling program utilizing the South Carolina Comprehensive and Developmental Guidance and Counseling Program Model. The purpose of the comprehensive developmental guidance program is to promote and enhance the learning process. The model facilitates student development in three broad areas; learning to live (personal and social development), learning to learn (academic development), and earning to work (career development).
Each school in the district K-12 is staffed by at least one fully certified school counselor; in some of the larger elementary schools and in the middle and high schools, there are multiple counselors. To find your school’s counselor please click on “School Counselor Contact List” on the left.
