There is the danger, probably the most common one, that throughout the long years of going to school a child will never acquire the enjoyment of work and pride in doing at least one kind of thing really well.

Erick H. Erickson, Identity Youth and Crisis

The Watertown Guidance Program provides activities, interventions and services which assist students in achieving their maximum personal development, both as individuals and as learners. Guidance and counseling are vital components of the educational process which help students recognize their abilities and needs, and develop strategies to realize their full potential.  The primary role of the guidance staff is to implement a developmental guidance program that will help all students acquire skills in the educational, social, and vocational areas necessary for living in a multicultural society.  Guidance counselors act as student advocates and work closely with other educators, parents and community members to provide opportunities for students to develop the skills necessary to lead productive, fulfilling lives.
