Vision Statement

The La Cueva High School Counseling Department envisions a school community where all students will graduate life-ready, equipped with the academic skills, social-emotional competencies, resiliency, and career readiness needed to thrive in their postsecondary goals. 

Mission Statement

The La Cueva High School Counseling Department supports the academic, social-emotional, and postsecondary development of every student. Through equitable access to comprehensive counseling services, we empower students to discover their strengths, advocate for themselves, and make informed decisions that prepare them for success in college, career, and life. We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive school community where all students can thrive.

Confidentiality

Information discussed with the counselor is private unless the information needs to be shared to prevent danger to the student or others. If information needs to be shared, the counselor will make every effort to let you know of the appropriate source(s) that need to be contacted. This may be a parent/guardian, administrative personnel, protective services, or law enforcement. Other shared information includes court subpoenas and communication with other professionals to better support you. Our primary responsibility is to our students, but we also acknowledge parents' rights to be informed.

See Something, Say Something

Below is a link you can use to anonymously report harassment, mistreatment, bullying, or non-urgent safety concerns or bullying. The La Cueva Administration will review this form and work to resolve the situation. If you would like to share your name with us, you can, and that will allow us to gather more information if necessary and/or follow up with you.

If this is an immediate concern of imminent danger and it is during school hours, please come to the office to report the threat immediately. If it is after school hours, please call 911.
