Our goal as your child’s school counselor is to see that your child receives the necessary assistance to make his or her middle school years a time of academic achievement, social growth and personal discovery. We are always available for all students for individual counseling and group guidance activities. We believe that all students should be able to learn in an environment that meets their needs in order to achieve success. Working together, we can provide a respectful and encouraging environment that helps our students meet present and future challenges in an ever changing society.
