Mission

Assessing and providing for the needs of each student to ensure that the social, emotional and academic challenges faced by adolescence are being addressed is the mission of the Fair Lawn High School Counseling Department.

The seven counselors in the department work with the students assigned to them throughout their four years in Fair Lawn. The counselor serves as the "gatekeeper", maintaining a watchful vigil on course selection and social interaction within the school community, and planning and implementing transitional activities for students bound for college, vocational schools, work, or the military.

The Counseling Department provides support and direction through interventions with students, faculty, Child Study Team, administrators, parents and guardians.
