Let us tell you about Dansville Central School!

Nestled at the southern end of the Canaseraga Valley, an arm of the Genesee Valley, Dansville is the southern gateway

to rural Livingston County and a major junction of highways providing direct access to the Rochester Metropolitan

area, the western edge of New York’s Finger Lake Region, the Southern Tier and a wide range of outdoor venues.

Dansville offers a unique balance of rural beauty and a thriving business community. Dansville is surrounded by

fertile farmland, rolling wooded hillsides, lakes, streams and is adjacent to the southern part of Livingston County.

Dansville is situated alongside Interstate 390 between exits 4 and 5. With a population of around 11,000 Dansville

offers small town charm, yet is near some of New York State’s largest cities. Rochester is 45 miles north and Buffalo is

65 miles to the northwest, while Corning is 60 miles to the south. Here is how we compare to other schools in

Livingston County; the table also highlights some of the challenges we face:

The Rationale for School Counseling Programs

The primary goal of school counseling programs is to promote and enhance student learning for ALL students through three broad

and interrelated areas of student development. Each of these areas encompass a variety of desired student learning competencies,

which in turn are comprised of specific knowledge, attitudes and skills, which form the foundation of the developmental school

counseling program. The three areas of student development are academic, personal/social and career development. A

comprehensive school counseling program is developmental and systemic in nature, sequential, clearly defined and accountable.

The program is proactive and preventive in its focus and it assists students in acquiring life-long learning skills. School counseling

programs are developed by focusing on needs and issues related to various stages of student growth. There is a commitment to

individual uniqueness and the maximum development in the three major areas: academic, career and personal/social.

“School counselors work with all students, school staff, families and members of the community as an integral part of the educational

program. School counseling programs promote school success through a focus on academic achievement, prevention and intervention

activities, advocacy and social/emotional and career development.” (American School Counselor Association, 1997)
