Comprehensive School Counseling Program

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.

All McDonough Middle School alumni are caring, purposeful, and resilient adults who leverage their unique talents and high-quality education to positively impact the global community and achieve individual success. 

The McDonough Middle School counseling department will empower all students through inclusive and data-informed programming that cultivates academic potential, fosters social/emotional growth, and expands postsecondary opportunities. As a result of active stakeholder collaboration, every student benefits from equitable access to an exceptional educational experience. They embrace learning as a lifelong practice, and become powerful contributors to our global society.
