Hello! My name is April Marocco, and I am the School Counselor at Central Valley Middle School. After graduating from Monaca High School, I went on to earn my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Spanish at the University of Pittsburgh. I later attended Carlow University to obtain my Master's degree in Professional Counseling with a certification in School Counseling, grades K-12. Since then, I have worked extensively in mental health as a therapist and as a behavior specialist consultant, which prepared me for my career in school counseling.
I am passionate about helping our students thrive emotionally, socially, and academically, so please feel free to contact me anytime with questions or concerns!
