CUSD School Counseling Program Vision Statement 

 The Capistrano Unified School District School Counseling Program strives to provide opportunities so that every student will acquire the social-emotional, academic, and career skills to reach their fullest educational potential and successfully manage their lives as healthy, responsible, competent, and productive citizens who respect themselves and others.

As Professional School Counselors, we believe...

• All students should have access to a comprehensive school counseling program to address their academic, social-emotional, and post secondary needs.

• All students should have equitable access to a credentialed, master's-degree-level school counselor who will be an advocate for their needs. 

• All students can be successful in a rich and rigorous environment.

• All students have individual strengths and thrive when their strengths are recognized.

• All students have the ability to succeed and become productive citizens.

• A strong education will lead students to be positive influences in the community and obtain fulfilling careers.

• All counseling interventions and supports are data driven and evidence based to ensure efficacy in the school counseling program.

• School Counselors will gather and analyze data and collaborate with students, parents, and school staff to design, implement, and continuously improve a school counseling program that aligns with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model.

• School Counselors abide by the ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors to make informed decisions based on the highest moral principles.

Hey Tritons!

My name is Ashley Genova and this is my first year as a school counselor. I am from Temecula, Ca and moved to Dana Point with my high school sweetheart back in 2019.

I received BA degree in Psychology from Cal State San Marcos and my M.A. in Educational School Counseling. I am also an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and am currently working towards licensure.

When I am not at SCHS, I enjoy bike riding, traveling, spending time with my two pups, and watching my guilty pleasure show, Friends!

I am excited to be a Triton and am so thankful to have the opportunity to work here at San Clemente High School!

Hello Tritons! I am currently out on maternity leave and expect to be back middle of next semester. See you in the Spring!
