Guidance & Counseling

The Guidance and Counseling Department at Fort Worth ISD plays a key role in supporting students' academic, personal, and social development. Through a structured and intentional approach, the department helps students build essential life skills while offering targeted support to those with specific needs. School counselors use their specialized training to guide students through challenges and opportunities alike.

Fort Worth ISD’s counseling program is built on the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling, which ensures a balanced focus across four areas: guidance curriculum, responsive services, individual student planning, and system support. This framework allows counselors to deliver consistent, high-quality services that meet the diverse needs of all students across the district.
