School Counseling

The mission of the Clifton Public Schools Counseling Department is to empower our students with knowledge and skills necessary to achieve academic, personal/social, and career success, and in turn enable them to reach their fullest potential as respectful, responsible citizens.

While our students are the primary focus of the department and its activities, a student's ultimate success is dependent upon a collaborative approach between the counselor, parent/guardian, teacher, and administrator(s).
