Guidance

Receiving the Gold Star designation is evidence of the collaboration it takes among educators and staff for students to be successful. 

Fishers Junior High School is proud to be a Gold Star School as recognized by the Indiana Department of Education According to the DOE, Gold Star schools have exhibited “the highest level of school counseling professionalism in Indiana.”

To receive this honor, Fishers Junior High School convened an advisory council of diverse stakeholders. That team participated in a nine-month, rigorous process that reviewed student data, established student outcome goals, aligned efforts to counseling standards, and committed to maximizing the time school counselors spend in direct service of students.

Comprehensive school counseling efforts rely on a strong community safety net where every adult is responsible for guiding students. Fishers Junior High School will continue to build on this momentum by exploring teacher advisory programs, parent advisory programs, and community advisory programs. If you are interested in participating, please contact your school counselor.
