• Our Mission

    The mission of the Knox County School Counseling Program is to provide every student with a comprehensive school counseling program centered around an engaging curriculum that encourages the highest level of student achievement and excellence through their growth in academic, career and personal/social domains. In partnership with teachers, administrators, parents and a caring community, the school counselor will help every student be successful in the classroom.

    Our Vision
    Knox County students will become life-long learners who graduate college and career ready, well prepared to meet the challenges and high expectations of the 21st century. All students will participate in rigorous curriculum supported by a comprehensive school counseling program that facilitates collaborative partnerships between the school, family, and community. As successful and productive citizens, each of our students will make a positive difference in our schools and community.
     
     
    The counselor at Ritta believes: 
    All students have the potential to meet high academic standards.
    Every student, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or background should have access to the school counseling program.
    Education is a responsibility shared by students, parents, staff, and the community, and is based on an atmosphere of mutual respect.
    That as a school counselor, I must be a leader, advocate, and collaborator with my school in order to help our students reach their highest potential in the classroom.
