The Elmira City School District is fortunate to have available a multitude of academic and supportive services for all students. One of the cornerstones of these services lies in the school counseling office. The school counseling department pulls together the academic, social, and emotional needs of each student, and makes sure that they are being met by the school and district in the most appropriate manner.
The Elmira City School District Comprehensive School Counseling program is based on standards and student competencies developed by the American School Counselor Association for academic, personal/social, and career development and the New York State Learning Standards. Download or view the
