Our Vision and Mission
The vision of R.A. Brown Middle School counseling program is that school counselors will work together with students, families, staff, and other stakeholders to achieve excellence in education by building an environment that fosters student individuality, academic self-confidence, equity, and emotional self-awareness. We want to know, value and empower every student to reach their highest potential in school and in life and to graduate high school with the “college and career ready” self-knowledge, character, and critical thinking skills to pursue their individual goals and passions.
The mission of R. A. Brown Middle School counseling program is to ensure all students have access to a comprehensive, data-driven, and relevant school counseling program that addresses their academic, social/emotional, and college/career readiness needs. Each student’s strengths will be recognized and encouraged by our counseling team as we collaborate with them, their families and the rest of our school community to build a school environment that values the gifts and potential of everyone. Our highest goal is to love and support students for who they are while also offering them the space to explore new options and try new skills that eventually shape and enrich what they become. With the help of our comprehensive school counseling program, students will leave R.A. Brown Middle School with the skills, mindsets, self-confidence, and knowledge to thrive in high school and to reach their academic, professional, and personal goals.

Enrolling new students, getting families set up with Parentvue, connecting students with their counselors, resetting student passwords and un-enrolling students are a few of the things I can help with.
