LGBTQ Community

FHSA Counseling and Clinical team takes the same position that is promoted by the American School Counselors Association 

 

"School counselors promote equal opportunity and respect for students regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. School counselors recognize the school experience can be significantly more difficult for students with marginalized identities. School counselors work to eliminate barriers impeding LGBTQ+ student development and achievement. [...] School counselors promote affirmation, respect, and equal opportunity for all students regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. School counselors promote awareness of and education on issues related to LGBTQ+ students and encourage a safe and affirming school environment. School counselors work to eliminate barriers impeding student development and achievement and are committed to all students’ academic, career and social/emotional development."

At FHSA we have created a healthy and safe environment where all students feel welcomed and loved. We provide students with multiple outlets to express themselves and or become allies. We also provide families with resources when requested.
