The McDonough Middle School Counselors BELIEVE: 

• ALL scholars are valuable and should be equitably treated with dignity and respect in a safe and supportive learning environment. 

• ALL scholars have the capacity to learn and to achieve high levels of post-secondary success. 

• ALL scholars will be enriched through and serviced by a data-driven, developmentally appropriate comprehensive school counseling program (as delivered by a Professional School Counselor) to meet their academic, social/emotional, and career development needs.

The vision of the McDonough Middle School Counseling Program is to nurture compassionate, purpose-driven, and resilient individuals who thrive in adulthood. Our students will leverage their unique talents and the high-quality, world-class education they receive to enhance their academic, career, and social-emotional outcomes. As alumni, they will contribute meaningfully to shape a brighter future by making meaningful contributions to society while achieving personal fulfillment and success.

At McDonough Middle School, the counseling department is dedicated to empowering every student through an inclusive, data-driven program that provides an exceptional learning experience. We are committed to fostering academic excellence, social-emotional growth, and offering exceptional opportunities for postsecondary success. By collaborating strategically with stakeholders and implementing targeted, multi-tiered interventions, we ensure equity, access, and success for all students. Our efforts create pathways to exceptional opportunities and access that lead to success in an ever-changing global society, equipping students to achieve their full potential and become impactful contributors to our evolving global society.
