Dickinson ISD is dedicated to following the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs.

The 4 Key Components in this model are:

  1. Guidance Curriculum - our counselors offer guidance lessons directly to students on a variety of topics and arrange for various mental health presentations.
  2. Responsive Services - our counselors offer individual counseling sessions, parent consultations regarding individual student needs and help with coordinating with our district's social workers or outside referral sources.
  3. Individual Planning - beginning in junior high, our counselors offer career guidance, parent and student consultation regarding planning and goal setting, as well as assisting with resources for post-high school education and training opportunities.
  4. System Support - our counselors are committed to providing community outreach opportunities, include parent education programs, teacher consultations and assisting on campus and district improvement committees.

The counselor for the Dickinson Continuation Center (DCC) and for Dickinson Alternative Learning Center (DALC) is Katie Daley.

In 2018-19, Dickinson ISD applied for the Rebuild Texas Fund Grant and in August 2019, we were awarded the grant, which gives DISD access to over a million dollars in funding. The Rebuild Texas Fund grant is designed to help Dickinson holistically address the mental and emotional health needs of its students from birth to graduation. The project is designed to help students, parents, teachers, and staff recovery from Hurricane Harvey and develop skills to improve their resilience to future traumas. This project will provide Dickinson ISD with a number of supports ranging from technical assistance in designing and implementing the program, funding to add staff, numerous professional development opportunities for our staff and development of a sustainability plan.
