Benold Middle School's comprehensive school counseling program aims to empower students to succeed not only on an academic level, but also succeed in their future career and personal life. One of the primary roles of a professional school counselor is to foster the healthy development of every student in each of these three domains regardless of race, gender, age, and degree of disability. This occurs through evidence-based intervention methods implemented in classroom guidance activities, small group counseling, and individual responsive counseling to teach essential skills.

Our focus for the 2024-2025 school year is to increase student confidence through various experiences of connection with emotional intelligence, future readiness exploration, and restorative practices.  

We will also focus on expanding our current work with the Effective Advising Framework team to build out future readiness skills and vertical alignment systems that connect students to opportunities that track student growth each year.

We have aligned our CSCP with the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs. For more information about GISDs efforts to align with the Texas Model, please click here.
