Counseling Department Mission Statement

​To Serve, Support, and Empower All Students
Counseling Department Vision Statement
​The Fossil Ridge High School counseling program exists to meet the unique needs of all students, with a focus on academic, personal, social and career development. As advocates, it is our mission to work for equity, access and success for every student. Through a data driven and collaborative approach with staff, families and community members, we strive to provide preventive and proactive services that will help our students towards the path of excellence and post-secondary success. We work to uphold the Poudre School District standard of Educating Every Child, Every Day.​
​Communication Standard:
The professional standard for FRHS staff members is to respond to calls and emails within two school days. Please allow this time before sending additional emails or calls to assure the most coordinated and rapid response. Thank you for your consideration.
