LCMS Counseling Mission:

The mission of the La Center Middle School counseling program is to work collaboratively with students, staff, families, and other community members to create a safe, welcoming, and equitable environment where students can develop into successful life-long learners and members of a productive community. This will be done through the creation and implementation of a comprehensive school counseling program using a wide variety of evidence-based practices and strategies used to enhance academic, social, and personal success. The middle school school counseling program will advocate for equity and student success, will encourage self-advocacy, and will promote the development of citizenship that embraces empathy and compassion.

Why do kids need a school counselor?

School counselors are trusted adults that students can rely on for support

Children learn best when they feel confident and have positive relationships

When children understand their emotions, behavior can be managed more easily
