The Costa Mesa High School/Middle School Counseling Program will empower all students to find their passion, find their purpose, and find their path. Students will become independent thinkers, problem solvers, and compassionate leaders in their journey to contribute as active members in their communities and beyond.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Costa Mesa High School/Middle School Counseling Department is to proactively provide a safe environment that promotes academic achievement, exposure to career pathways, preparation for higher education, and optimal social/emotional development. In partnership with district priorities and the school-wide action plan the counseling department will infuse innovative technology to collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure that students meet their fullest potential. Our comprehensive, data-driven counseling program will facilitate opportunities for every student to develop self-advocacy, leadership, character, and the confidence to contribute in meaningful ways to the world at large.


Counselors at Costa Mesa High School/Middle School are readily available to assist students, parents, and staff.

A Note to Parents

Letter of Recommendation

If you need a letter of recommendation from your counselor/teacher/mentor for a college application, scholarship program, and/or any other activity, you need to complete a form via Schoolinks. Remember that the counselor/teacher/mentor writing your recommendation wants to do a good job for you, so it’s important that you follow all directions.
