Student Services Department Mission Statement
The Student Services Department of Lyons Township High School believes that student services are an integral part of the total school’s educational program. We believe that an effective program of student services is instructional in nature and includes developmental activities organized and implemented by student services personnel in collaboration with teachers, administrators, parents/guardians, and students.
An emphasis on the developmental/preventive processes of student services has led to the creation of a comprehensive guidance curriculum. Effective programs and activities are delivered by counselors, social workers, and school health personnel through the following major services.
- Informational Service, for academics and post high school;
- Counseling Service, for personal, social development planning;
- Consultation Service, for home and school integration;
- Coordination Service, for home, school, and community interactions.
The Student Services curriculum, programs, and activities at Lyons Township High School are designed to address the needs of all students by assisting them to make individually appropriate choices which promote healthy intellectual, emotional, and physical development. We believe that these programs and activities strengthen and encourage the development and clarification of the student’s personal sense of uniqueness. The Student Services curriculum, programs, and activities are enhanced through continuing student and alumni assessments and ongoing professional development endeavors that are reflective of current research and practice in this field.
By pursuing this mission, we believe Student Services makes meaningful contributions to the attainment of personal and academic student success at Lyons Township High School.
