Vision Statement
The Viburnum Junior and Senior High School school counseling team envisions a future in which all students develop into the best versions of themselves, ready to apply their individual talents to their post-secondary goals. Graduates from our program will use the skills they developed in this program to make the world a better place through lifelong learning, advocacy, goal setting, and empathy.
Mission Statement
The school counseling team at Viburnum Junior and Senior High School will be a driving force in cultivating a culture of empowered and successful future citizens. We will hold all students to high standards and know they have the capacity to be leaders. We will cultivate their success through the teaching of academic and social-emotional skills in individual meetings, small groups, and large groups. We will collaborate with all stakeholders in these endeavors as we develop a framework in which all students, no matter their background, can develop their academic, emotional, and interpersonal skills, which will be used in all future endeavors.
Meet the Counselor
Welcome to the Viburnum Junior and Senior High School Counseling Program!
My name is Mya Houart and I am thrilled to be the school counselor-in-training for the Viburnum Junior and Senior High School. My goal is to make sure that every student in our school has the opportunity and resources to be successful, however that looks for them.
Located in the beautiful town of Viburnum, nestled in the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest, our school serves students from Crawford, Iron, and Dent Counties. We take pride in offering a wide range of athletics, clubs, and access to advanced technology to enhance the educational experience.
I love a few things: my family, hiking, and supporting students. My goals go far beyond academics, it is about creating a space where students all feel heard and understood so that they can build academic, social, emotional, and career skills. I promise to always treat students with the utmost respect and be a listening ear when they need support. Whether a student wants to discuss grades, attendance, peer difficulties, or career plans, I am available.
It is my goal to create a comprehensive school counseling program in which students learn, grow, and develop to reach their full potential. If you ever have any questions about my role or how I can help you or your student, please reach out to me! I want to help and support you.
As an A+ certified school, we are committed to providing opportunities for our students to excel beyond high school. We offer a district-sponsored scholarship program for qualifying students and provide access to locally taught, high-rigor classes, dual enrollment courses through Mineral Area College, and career technical education programs through Arcadia Valley Career Technical Center.
See you soon,
