Counseling and Mental Health Services
Middle school is the most wonderful and dramatic time of growth and development in childhood! The journey will not be smooth or go as expected. Those bumps and forks in the road can be difficult for our students (and parents) to navigate. Our mental health team is comprised of experienced experts on navigating these obstacles and opportunists. Please reach out to any member of our team with questions, concerns, or sharing that weird feeling eating at you (parental instincts are real, don't ignore those feelings!). We are here to help!
