McKinney Elementary Counseling Mission Statement
At McKinney Elementary, we believe every student deserves to feel supported, included, and empowered to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our counseling program supports all students, helping them build confidence, set goals, and develop critical life skills.
We celebrate each child’s unique strengths and diversity, encouraging them to advocate for themselves and reach their full potential. Through guidance and support, we aim to create a safe and caring space where students can learn, grow, and prepare for a bright future—both in school and as community members.
We have partnered with LifeStance Health. Kelly Perez De La Cruz is a mental health provider that works out of our building.
