Guidance Department

The Ada Exempted Village Schools Guidance Department is dedicated to supporting the academic, social, and emotional growth of all students. Our counselors work closely with students, families, and staff to help every Bulldog reach their full potential — from goal-setting and course planning to career exploration and personal development. We’re here to guide, listen, and connect students with the resources they need for success in school and beyond.
