Philosophy Statement
The Brewster High School Student Services Department adheres to the philosophy that all students can be successful and that a school counseling program is an essential and integral part of our high school’s overall education process. It is our belief that a school counseling program should be provided to all students regardless of ethnicity, sex, ability, achievements or aspirations; every individual is important and to be respected for his or her individual differences. Academic, career, personal and social, and community involvement skills are the knowledge that students need for success. The Student Services Department seeks to develop students who are prepared to make healthy life choices, be responsible for themselves, to have a strong capacity for resiliency, a strong sense of self, and compassion and empathy for others in the face of diverse life issues.
Mission

Mirroring the mission of the BCSD, we seek to create a culture that embraces the whole child, challenges children’s abilities, values diversity, incorporates relevant technology, and engages in a Professional Learning Community that strives to rigorously evaluate its effectiveness on student learning.
