    The counseling staff at Smithfield-Selma High School is committed to preparing students to become productive citizens, as they face the challenges of the 21st century. Counselors at SSS help students develop skills in the areas of personal-social growth, academic planning, and career development.  Students at SSS are provided with structure and support, and at the same time are given primary responsibility for their success.
