The Counseling Department
We are the bridge between the home and the classroom. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s performance at school, inside or outside of the classroom, let us know. We would be happy to meet with you any time. We are here to help your child succeed.
RUSD Counseling Belief Statements
All Secondary Counselors in the Rowland Unified School District hold the same beliefs about our students:

  2. All students shall have access to a school counselor who actively advocates for their academic, career, and social emotional needs
  3. All students have the right to be heard and treated with respect and dignity
  4. All students deserve a school counselor who will collaborate with families, stakeholders, and who will provide community resources to meet students’ needs and assist in student development

Who Is My Counselor
Starting with the 2025-26 school year, counselors are assigned to a grade level. 3 counselors are assigned to 9th and 11th graders and 3 counselors are assigned to 10th and 12th graders.
 
Students are assigned to a counselor based on the student's grade level and last name.
 
Students will have the same counselor all 4 years, so this year’s 9th and 11th grade counselors will transition to being 10th and 12th grade counselors the following year, and this year’s 10th and 12th grade counselors will transition to being 9th and 11th grade counselors the following year.
