THE RUHS COUNSELORS' CREED
“Students must have initiative; they should not be mere imitators. They must learn to think and act for themselves--and be free.” (Cesar Chavez)
As a counseling team, our goal is to teach, support and inspire students to pursue both their personal and academic goals. We recognize each student as an individual with unique qualities and talents. Our commitment is to help them discover and develop their interests as they continue their journey as a lifelong learner.
