Recent Activity"Together with parents and educators, Stafford County's school counselors assist all students to respond to educational, career development, and social and emotional needs. Children's lives are constantly changing and their lives are affected by today's societal issues. Such issues may cause children to have difficulty achieving their academic potential. All students can benefit from the assistance provided by a school counselor." (SCPS School Counseling Program 2007-2008)
