Welcome to the Indian Hills Elementary School Counseling Page. Our role as School Counselors is to work with students, parents, and staff members to help guide students' academic, career, and social/emotional development. We are currently enjoying getting to know all of our Chiefs and working with students on their individual needs. If you have concerns about your child that you believe we could assist with, please feel free to contact us at the school at any time. Please be sure to scroll down the page and find links to information on coping skills, academics, and other important resources for you and your student!
