Welcome to Counseling!    

New-Hope Solebury School District endeavors to meet students where they are and guide them to the acquisition of the knowledge, skills, and habits they will need to function in a productive and fulfilling manner in their increasingly complex world.

The Counseling Program contributes to the implementation of this mission by addressing the academic, career, and personal/social development of each student through a comprehensive and developmental program of services. 

The Counselor works in collaboration with administration, faculty, parents, and the community to build a scaffolding of knowledge and skills that will provide high academic performance, effective decision making, and positive self-esteem that will continue throughout the life span.  

To achieve these goals, the counselor: 

• Works with students individually, in small groups, and in the classroom
• Is a member of the Comprehensive Support Team

• Supports students with behavior concerns
• Develops and monitors 504 Service Agreements
