Our Mission

Garner Magnet High School counselors provide a comprehensive counseling program that prepares and inspires all students to achieve high standards in a competitive and constantly changing world. The school counselors advocate for each student to ensure equity and access. We identify and address barriers that impede student learning. Counselors empower students to grow into life-long learners and critical thinkers fully prepared to pursue opportunities in the 21st century.

Our Vision

Every Garner Magnet High School student graduates and pursues postsecondary options, including enrollment, enlistment, entrepreneurship and/or employment.  Students are empowered to take advantage of academic rigor and courses aligned with their individual college and career goals. Our students demonstrate skills necessary to become lifelong learners and productive members of a global, multicultural society. They are reflective, informed, and compassionate members of their diverse and complex communities and are respectful of differences.
