School Counselors
We are master’s level trained counselors who help students with their personal, social, and academic concerns in order for them to get the most out of their education. As school counselors, with the help of the entire school staff, we have established a comprehensive counseling program to provide developmental, preventive, and remedial services with the intent of helping our students reach their full potential, both academic and personal.
