To accomplish the program goals, the South Carolina Comprehensive Developmental School Counseling Program is an integral part of the school system’s total educational program. The program includes sequential activities in the elementary, middle, and high schools.
The ASCA School Counselor Professional Standards and Competencies are also utilized as a guide to meet the needs of K-12 students.
In Berkeley County School District, it is our mission to implement a comprehensive school counseling program to assist students, families, teachers, administrators and other school staff in facilitating and supporting student-driven learning experiences.

Monica McCants Harvin, Ed.S.
Ms. Harvin brings just over 24 years of school counseling experience, having most recently served as the guidance director at Daniel Jenkins Academy and a school counselor at Wando High School in Charleston County School District. As a longtime school counselor, Ms. Harvin has done everything from coordinating homebound services to facilitating student academic, personal, social and career development. She says the most enjoyable aspect of counseling has always been assisting students with “navigating their path to finding their passion by helping them develop their knowledge/skills and creating a plan for their future.” Among the goals for her team, Ms. Harvin said there will be a focus on ensuring all school counselors are providing services that align with both American School Counseling Association (ASCA) and SC Comprehensive Guidance models. She will also be setting the bar high and challenging all schools to seek Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) certification.
