The Milwaukie School Counseling Program envisions all MHS/MAA students developing into self-aware individuals who positively contribute to their communities, locally and globally, with dignity and respect for others. MHS/MAA students understand their unique combination of strengths and challenges, have a plan for their future, and understand their responsibilities and resources in a changing world.

Our mission as high school counselors at Milwaukie High School and Milwaukie Academy of the Arts is to deliver a collaborative and data-driven comprehensive school counseling program that proactively supports students in feeling empowered to shape their future academic goals, cultivate their personal/social & mental health, and develop career aspirations. As professional school advocates, school counselors facilitate services to ensure all students have equal access and opportunity to develop the attributes, knowledge, and skills necessary to seize their opportunities and have a positive impact in their communities. School counselors will continuously and systematically review program data to adjust program goals in order to ensure student needs are being met.
