Counseling Mission: My mission as the Professional School Counselor at Rockledge Elementary School is to provide a comprehensive, developmental counseling program addressing the academic, personal/social and career preparation/college planning needs for all students. My goal is to aid students in obtaining the knowledge and developing the ability to solve problems and navigate all of life’s challenges in a confidently assertive way in order to become life-long problem solvers who self-advocate and are able to positively contribute to a diverse society.
