By fostering high-level thinking and 21st-century skills through personalized, student-centered approaches, we support students in reaching their fullest potential in academics, career exploration, and social-emotional growth, preparing them for their chosen endeavor in society, including but not limited to postsecondary education, career, or military service.

Our Mission

The Mesa Middle School Counseling Department's mission is to provide a comprehensive program driven by qualitative and quantitative data while using the Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (IMTSS) framework to ensure equitable access to resources for all students. Through classroom lessons, small groups, and individual counseling, we proactively meet diverse student needs. As an IB school, we emphasize student-centered, inquiry-based learning and prioritize equity in tiered interventions, supporting students' academic, personal, social, and career development to help every student receive the individualized support needed to effectively reach their full potential and positively impact our school and community throughout their educational journey.
