The middle school counseling program at Simpson Middle incorporates students in sixth grade through eighth grade.  Each counselor starts with their students in the sixth grade year and fosters the relationship by following the designated students as they journey to eighth grade.  This affords counselors the opportunity to work closely with families, students, and staff while promoting student development. We envision our department will further nurture a community of independent thinkers, productive community members, lifelong learners, and individuals with a desire to serve others.  We support our vision by providing services to all students in the areas of goal setting, peer relations, and academic achievement.  This is supported through group, individual, and classroom guidance.  Data is used to determine support services.  Our curriculum is aligned with Loudoun County Public School Student Services. 

      The J. Lupton Simpson Middle School Counseling Department believes with proper support every student has the capacity to learn and achieve their goals in the areas of academic, career planning and personal/social development. The counseling program is aligned with the ASCA National Standards creating equitable opportunities to support individual achievement, and provides an equitable environment to all students. By collaborating with students, parents, teachers, administrators, and community members we are creating a well-rounded educational environment for the development of our students with accessibility to all. We envision our students becoming productive members of our global society. The school counseling program at Simpson Middle School strongly aligns with the Loudoun County Public School vision.
