The mission of the Sherman ISD Counseling Department is to support all students in achieving their personal, academic, and career goals.
Counselors in Sherman ISD operate under the beliefs that:
- All students are unique and valuable and will be served by the counseling program.
- All students can learn, and we recognize that they learn in different ways.
- The school and community must embrace diversity and promote the value of the individual.
- At all times we will act as the student advocate.
The Sherman ISD Counseling Program is built upon the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling.
The model focuses on four domains:
- Guidance Curriculum
- Responsive Services
- Individual Planning
- System Support
Counselors work to support students in four Student Competency Areas:
- Intrapersonal Effectiveness
- Interpersonal Effectiveness
- Postsecondary Education and Career Readiness

The purpose of the program is to impart skills and knowledge that will enable our students to be successful at school, home, and in their future.
