Local School needs a Guidance Counselor to join our administrative staff. The successful candidate will divide his or her time equally between administrative tasks and providing students with guidance and support. He or she must always be available to students who need help with school work, social stress or other issues that might emerge during the school year. We run a supportive environment with low educator turn-over and high employee satisfaction. If you want to join an educational environment that truly values its students and employees, we are excited to talk with you.
